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? 
Abm             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? 
Abm                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        Am     B 
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. 

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? 

            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     B   
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  A
Being close to craziness and being close to you. 
    B             E    C#m   A
and being close to you, 
    B              E
and being close to you.
