[Verse 1]
EI'd have to be crazy E7to stop all my singing
Aand never play mAmusic agEain
EYou'd call me a fool E7if I grabbed up my top hat
and rBan out to flag down the wB7ind
EI'd have to be weird E7to grow me a beard
Ajust to see what the reAmdnecks would dEo
I'd have to be crazy pBlum out of my mind
to fAall out of lAmove with yEou
[Verse 2]
YEou know I've done weird things, E7told people I've heard things
When siAlence was Amall in abEound
EBeen days when it pleased me tE7o crawl on my knees
following aBnts as they crawled across the grB7ound
EBeen insane on a train but I'm E7still me again
and the pAlace where I Amhold you is tErue
I'd have to be crazy pBlum out of my mind
to fAall out of lAmove with yEou
[Chorus]
 AYou know AmI don't intEend to
 ABut should tAmhere come a dEay
 Awhen I saAmy that I don't lEove you
BYou can lock me awayB7  
[Verse 3]
EWell it sure would be dingy E7to live in an envelope
in a wAorld waiting aAmlong for a stEamp
EYou'd swear I was locE7o to rub for a genie
while burBning my hand on a lampB7  
EI may not be normal bE7ut nobody is
so I'd lAike to say beAmfore I'm thrEough
EBut I'd have to be crazy, plBum out of my mind
To faAll out of lAmove with yEou
[Outro]
EBut I'd have to be crazy, plBum out of my mind
To faAll out of lAmove with yEou

[Verse 1]

E E7

I'd have to be crazy to stop all my singing

A Am E

and never play music again

E E7

You'd call me a fool if I grabbed up my top hat

B B7

and ran out to flag down the wind

E E7

I'd have to be weird to grow me a beard

A Am E

just to see what the rednecks would do

I'd have to be crazy plum out of my mind

A Am E

to fall out of love with you

[Verse 2]

E E7

You know I've done weird things, told people I've heard things

A Am E

When silence was all in abound

E E7

Been days when it pleased me to crawl on my knees

B B7

following ants as they crawled across the ground

E E7

Been insane on a train but I'm still me again

A Am E

and the place where I hold you is true

I'd have to be crazy plum out of my mind

A Am E

to fall out of love with you

[Chorus]

A Am E

You know I don't intend to

A Am E

But should there come a day

A Am E

when I say that I don't love you

B B7

You can lock me away

[Verse 3]

E E7

Well it sure would be dingy to live in an envelope

A Am E

in a world waiting along for a stamp

E E7

You'd swear I was loco to rub for a genie

B B7

while burning my hand on a lamp

E E7

I may not be normal but nobody is

A Am E

so I'd like to say before I'm through

E B

But I'd have to be crazy, plum out of my mind

A Am E

To fall out of love with you

[Outro]

E B

But I'd have to be crazy, plum out of my mind

A Am E

To fall out of love with you
