[Verse 1]
In my miCnd I write you letters all the time 
Somehow I Amnever get the pen to Gpaper 
And in my lCife my words always rhyme 
And it's a shAmame I don't hGate her or blame her 
[Verse 2]
CLook at that I'm 29 
And not much has cAmhanged since the last time we dGanced 
And I'm gCood, I'm good I swear to god I'm fine
I'm just sAmcared to death to take a cGhance 
[Refrain]
I think you're Ccrazier than AmmeG  
I think you're Ccrazy as can Ambe
And it frightens Gme so enlighten Cme 
[Verse 3]
I got your nCote about the day the girl fell --
A five story Amwindow I don't know too Gwell
And I nCever wrote you back (can't you tell?) 
That in my Ammind the image just Gclimbs 
[Verse 4]
I spent too lCong with the wrong kinds of men
One went to IrAmaq, came back, but fled agGain 
And I tChink of them - I do, now and then 
It only remAminds me, that's all behGind me 
[Refrain]
I think you're Ccrazier than AmmeG  
I think you're Ccrazy as can Ambe
And it frightens Gme so enlighten Cme
[Verse 5]
The things in this Clife we're striving to get 
Are the same as those fAminding us fools of regrGet 
I remember clCearly the day we met 
'Cause your voice was cAmrystal and your hair was so gGold 
[Verse 6]
The need for new lCove — it's loyalty to an old 
Though I don't belAmieve it's what I'm being tGold 
Remember on the plCatform we stood in the cold? 
I wonder how we'll sAmtand it, one day when we're oGld . . . 
[Refrain]
Will you still be crCazy about Amme?G  
Will you still be crCazy as can Ambe? 
'Cause it frightens Gme enlighten Cme 
[Verse 7]
Now who'd ever guCess one day we'd cross feet
The corner where HAmouston and Essex Street mGeet 
And who'd ever guCess you'd envision our kid 
In the back of a Amcar drivin' over a brGidge 
[Verse 8]
I don't know how mCuch more I'll take of all this 
Do we come apAmart or do we join at the hGip?
Or do we both flip a cCoin; heads or tails — tell me quick — 
Heads means let's Amsay tails says walk awGay! 
[Refrain]
I think you're cCrazy, I think you're crazAmier than me G  
I think you're cCrazy as can Ambe 
And it frightens Gme enlighten Cme 
[Verse 9]
Time passes Con and we pick up the pen 
Though we barely write a wAmord before we put it down agaGin 
I'm asking mysCelf ain't the sole intention
To be riddled with lAmove without any quGestion? 
[Verse 10]
It's time we give the lCunatic business arrest 
You're borderline romAmantic at worst I gGuess 
I made a mistCake, I got it all wrong 
It's me who's insAmane but for the sake of my sGong 
[Refrain]
I made you cCrazier than Amme G  
I may be cCrazy as can Ambe 
And it frightens Gme so enlighten Cme 
[Outro]
CI write you letters all the time in my mind 
CI write you letters all the time in my mind 
CI write you letters all the time in my mind 
CI write you letters . . .

[Verse 1]

In my mind I write you letters all the time

Am G

Somehow I never get the pen to paper

And in my life my words always rhyme

Am G

And it's a shame I don't hate her or blame her

[Verse 2]

Look at that I'm 29

Am G

And not much has changed since the last time we danced

And I'm good, I'm good I swear to god I'm fine

Am G

I'm just scared to death to take a chance

[Refrain]

C Am G

I think you're crazier than me

C Am

I think you're crazy as can be

G C

And it frightens me so enlighten me

[Verse 3]

I got your note about the day the girl fell --

Am G

A five story window I don't know too well

And I never wrote you back (can't you tell?)

Am G

That in my mind the image just climbs

[Verse 4]

I spent too long with the wrong kinds of men

Am G

One went to Iraq, came back, but fled again

And I think of them - I do, now and then

Am G

It only reminds me, that's all behind me

[Refrain]

C Am G

I think you're crazier than me

C Am

I think you're crazy as can be

G C

And it frightens me so enlighten me

[Verse 5]

The things in this life we're striving to get

Am G

Are the same as those finding us fools of regret

I remember clearly the day we met

Am G

'Cause your voice was crystal and your hair was so gold

[Verse 6]

The need for new love — it's loyalty to an old

Am G

Though I don't believe it's what I'm being told

Remember on the platform we stood in the cold?

Am G

I wonder how we'll stand it, one day when we're old . . .

[Refrain]

C Am G

Will you still be crazy about me?

C Am

Will you still be crazy as can be?

G C

'Cause it frightens me enlighten me

[Verse 7]

Now who'd ever guess one day we'd cross feet

Am G

The corner where Houston and Essex Street meet

And who'd ever guess you'd envision our kid

Am G

In the back of a car drivin' over a bridge

[Verse 8]

I don't know how much more I'll take of all this

Am G

Do we come apart or do we join at the hip?

Or do we both flip a coin; heads or tails — tell me quick —

Am G

Heads means let's say tails says walk away!

[Refrain]

C Am G

I think you're crazy, I think you're crazier than me

C Am

I think you're crazy as can be

G C

And it frightens me enlighten me

[Verse 9]

Time passes on and we pick up the pen

Am G

Though we barely write a word before we put it down again

I'm asking myself ain't the sole intention

Am G

To be riddled with love without any question?

[Verse 10]

It's time we give the lunatic business arrest

Am G

You're borderline romantic at worst I guess

I made a mistake, I got it all wrong

Am G

It's me who's insane but for the sake of my song

[Refrain]

C Am G

I made you crazier than me

C Am

I may be crazy as can be

G C

And it frightens me so enlighten me

[Outro]

I write you letters all the time in my mind

I write you letters . . .
