Verse 1: E         B/F#               E/G#
         How can I think I'm standing strong, 
             A                        E
         Yet feel the air beneath my feet? 
         C#m               C#m/B    A 
         How can happiness feel so wrong? 
         G#m             B9      E      B
         How can misery feel so sweet?   
         
 Verse 2:E            B/F#            E/G#
         How can you let me watch you sleep, 
              A                           E
         Then break my dreams the way you do? 
         C#m                  C#m/B  A
         How can I have got in so   deep? 
         G#m               B9         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 
         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 B/F# E/G# Asus4 Am E

Verse 3: E            B/F#            E/G#
         How can you make me fall a---part 
               A                         E
         Then break my fall with loving lies? 
         C#m             C#m/B   A           
         It's so easy to break a heart; 
         G#m            B9            E  B               
         It's so easy to close your eyes. 

Verse 4: E            B/F#            E/G#
         How can you treat me like a child 
             A                         E
         Yet like a child I yearn for you? 
         C#m             C#m/B   A           
         How can anyone feel so wild? 
         G#m            B9      E  B
         How can anyone feel so blue?
