I'd hEave to be cE7razy
To sEtop all my sE7ingin
and F#never play Fmusic agCain.
You'd Ecall me a E7fool
If I Eput on a E7top hat
and B7ran out to fB7lag down the wiB7nd.Em  
I'd Ehave to be wE7eird
to gErow me a beaE7rd...
just to Asee what the redknecks would Amdo.
But, IE'd have to be crazy
B7plum out of mB7ind
to fAall out of lAmove with Eyou.
Now EI know I've done wE7eird things
I told pEeople I E7heard things
when F#silence was aFll that aCbounds.
Been dEays when it plE7eased me
to Ebe on my kE7nees
fB7ollowing ants as they cB7rawled cross the groB7undEm  
EI've been insane on a trE7ain
EBut I'm still me aE7gain
and the Aplace where i hold you is Amtrue...
ESo I know I'm alEright
'case B7I'd have tB7o be crB7azy
to fAall out of Amlove with Eyou...
(Eand i don't iF#ntend to.F.)C  
But sChould there come a Eday,
Ewhen I say that i don't F#love FyouC  
CThey can lock me aB7way--ay--B7AY
EIt sure would be E7dingy
Eto live in an enE7velope
F#waiting Falone for a Cstamp
and you'd Eswear i was lE7oco

wB7hile burning my B7hand oB7n lampEm  
Emand i may not be nEormal
but Emnobo-d-y iEs...
So IE'd like to sAay 'fore I'm Amthrough
EI'd have to be cErazy 
B7plum out of my mB7ind
to fAall out of lAmove with Eyou!!
