Intro:

D / A / | D/F# / / / | G / / / | D/A / A A7|

Verse:

D  A/E           D/F#
How can I think I’m standing strong
  G            D
Yet feel the air beneath my feet
Bm        A    G
How can happiness feel so wrong
F#m      A7   D
How can misery feel so sweet
D  A/E           D/F#
How can you let me watch you sleep
   G          D
Then break my dreams the way you do
Bm         A   G
How can I have got in so deep
F#m        A7    D
Why did I fall in love with you

Chorus:
A7
This is the
D               Bm
Closest thing to crazy I have ever been
    Em7    D/A
Feeling 22, acting 17
A
This is the
D               Bm
Nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
   Em7     Gm
I was never crazy on my own
D     Bm         G        Bb
And now I know that there’s a link between the two
D       Bm      A7       D
Being close to craziness and being close to you

A/E / D/F# | / / | Gm / / / | D / / / |

Repeat verse and chorus in same way

Verse 2 lyrics:

How can you let 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 could anyone be so wild
How could anyone be so blue

After Chorus 2, instead of the between chorus and verse sequence:

Bm / G | Am4 / D / | D / Bm / | A7 / D / | Bm / G | Am4 / D / |
