Verse

 E         B7		      E 
How can I think I'm standing strong 
     A		             E 
Yet feel the air beneath my feet 
C#m		   B	    A 
How can happiness feel so wrong 
Abm		B	E	B 
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

Chorus

	      E  			  Abm 
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been 
	F#m7	             B 
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen 
	     E   			  Abm 
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known 
      F#m7	      A 
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

Verse

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
