THE CLOSEST THING TO CRAZY        KATIE MELUA 
 
( Capo 2nd Fret ) 
 
 
D    A7    D 
G          D 
 
 D        A7                    D 
How can I think I'm standing strong 
     G                       D 
Yet feel the air beneath my feet 
 Bm                A        G 
How can happiness feel so wrong 
 F#m            A        D       A 
How can misery feel so sweet 
 
 
How can you let me watch you sleep 
Then break my dreams the way you do 
How can I have got in so deep 
Why did I fall in love with you  
              D                           F#m 
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been 
         Em7                A 
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen 
             D                            F#m 
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known, 
       Em7           G 
I was never crazy ... on my own 
     D       Bm                G               Bb 
And now I know that there's a link between the two.... 
 D               Bm            A              D 
Being close to craziness, and being close to you 

D   A7   D 
G        D 
 
How can you make me fall apart 
Then break my fall with loving lies 
It's so easy to break a heart 
It's so easy to close your eyes 
 
How can you treat me like a child 
Yet like a child I yearn for you 
How can anyone feel so wild 
How can anyone feel so blue 
 
 
Chorus 
D   Bm        A              D 
      .. and being close to you ( x 2 )
