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

              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        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  B  E   A  C  E  
Being close to craziness and being close to you.  
  
  
 E         B             E              
How can you make me fall apart 
       A                        E  
Then break my fall with loving lies? 
C#m             B      A  
It's so easy to break a heart; 
G#m               A        E     B                 
It's so easy to close your eyes.  
E             B               E 
How can you treat me like a child  
     A                        E 
Yet like a child I yearn for you?  
C#m             B       A 
How can anyone feel so wild?  
G#m             A        E   H 
How can anyone feel so blue?

and being close to you.
