The Closest Thing To Crazy

[Intro]:
E B | E | A | E B

[Verse 1]:
E         B                  E
How can I think I'm standing strong,
    A                        E
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
C#m                        A
How can happiness feel so wrong?
G#m             B       E      B
How can misery feel so sweet?

[Verse 2]:
E            B            E
How can you let me watch you sleep,
     A                           E
Then break my dreams the way you do?
C#m                       A
How can I have got in so deep?
G#m               B          E  B
Why did I fall in love with you?

[Chorus]:
             E                            C#m
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
        F#m                  B
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
             E                            C#m
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
      F#m         Am
I was never crazy on my own...
     E        C#m               A                C
And now I know, that there's a link between the two,
E              C#m                       B  E
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

[Instrumental]:
B E | E A | Am E

[Verse 3]:
E            B             E
How can you make me fall apart
      A                         E
Then break my fall with loving lies?
C#m                     A
It's so easy to break a heart;
G#m            B             E  B
It's so easy to close your eyes.

[Verse 4]:
E            B               E
How can you treat me like a child
    A                         E
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
C#m                     A
How can anyone feel so wild?
G#m            B       E  B
How can anyone feel so blue?

[Chorus]:
E                              C#m
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
        F#m                  B
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
           E                              C#m
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
      F#m         Am
I was never crazy on my own...
     E        C#m               A                C
And now I know, that there's a link between the two,
E              C#m           B              E  C#m
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

[Outro]:
A     B              E  C#m
And being close to you
A                    E
  And being close to you
