Enlighten Me chords by Jaymay

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

    C majorC
In my mind I write you letters all the time
     A minorAm          G+G
Somehow I never get the pen to paper
      C majorC
And in my life my words always rhyme
       A minorAm      G+G
And it's a shame I don't hate her or blame her


[Verse 2]

C majorC
Look at that I'm 29
         A minorAm               G+G
And not much has changed since the last time we danced
     C majorC
And I'm good, I'm good I swear to god I'm fine
     A minorAm            G+G
I'm just scared to death to take a chance

[Refrain]

        C majorC      A minorAm G+G
I think you're crazier than me
        C majorC      A minorAm
I think you're crazy as can be
         G+G        C majorC
And it frightens me so enlighten me


[Verse 3]

      C majorC
I got your note about the day the girl fell --
       A minorAm           G+G
A augmentedA five story window I don't know too well
    C majorC
And I never wrote you back (can't you tell?)
      A minorAm         G+G
That in my mind the image just climbs


[Verse 4]

       C majorC
I spent too long with the wrong kinds of men
       A minorAm            G+G
One went to Iraq, came back, but fled again
    C majorC
And I think of them - I do, now and then
      A minorAm           G+G
It only reminds me, that's all behind me

[Refrain]

        C majorC      A minorAm G+G
I think you're crazier than me
        C majorC      A minorAm
I think you're crazy as can be
         G+G        C majorC
And it frightens me so enlighten me


[Verse 5]

          C majorC
The things in this life we're striving to get
            A minorAm           G+G
Are the same as those finding us fools of regret
       C majorC
I remember clearly the day we met
            A minorAm              G+G
'Cause your voice was crystal and your hair was so gold


[Verse 6]

         C majorC
The need for new love — it's loyalty to an old
         A minorAm            G+G
Though I don't believe it's what I'm being told
         C majorC
Remember on the platform we stood in the cold?
          A minorAm              G+G
I wonder how we'll stand it, one day when we're old . . .


[Refrain]

          C majorC     A minorAm G+G
Will you still be crazy about me?
          C majorC     A minorAm
Will you still be crazy as can be?
          G+G      C majorC
'Cause it frightens me enlighten me


[Verse 7]

         C majorC
Now who'd ever guess one day we'd cross feet
         A minorAm            G+G
The corner where Houston and Essex Street meet
         C majorC
And who'd ever guess you'd envision our kid
         A minorAm          G+G
In the back of a car drivin' over a bridge


[Verse 8]

         C majorC
I don't know how much more I'll take of all this
       A minorAm            G+G
Do we come apart or do we join at the hip?
           C majorC
Or do we both flip a coin; heads or tails — tell me quick —
         A minorAm          G+G
Heads means let's say tails says walk away!


[Refrain]

        C majorC            A minorAm     G+G
I think you're crazy, I think you're crazier than me
        C majorC      A minorAm
I think you're crazy as can be
         G+G      C majorC
And it frightens me enlighten me


[Verse 9]
      C majorC
Time passes on and we pick up the pen
             A minorAm              G+G
Though we barely write a word before we put it down again
       C majorC
I'm asking myself ain't the sole intention
          A minorAm        G+G
To be riddled with love without any question?


[Verse 10]

            C majorC
It's time we give the lunatic business arrest
           A minorAm        G+G
You're borderline romantic at worst I guess
       C majorC
I made a mistake, I got it all wrong
         A minorAm             G+G
It's me who's insane but for the sake of my song


[Refrain]

      C majorC      A minorAm G+G
I made you crazier than me
     C majorC      A minorAm
I may be crazy as can be
         G+G        C majorC
And it frightens me so enlighten me


[Outro]

C majorC
I write you letters all the time in my mind
C majorC
I write you letters all the time in my mind
C majorC
I write you letters all the time in my mind
C majorC
I write you letters . . .
