[Verse 1]

E C D

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful

E C D

As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette

E C D

Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness

You forget...

E C D

Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with

E C D

And you're cryin' every time you turn around

E C D

And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up

Off the ground...

[Chorus]

E C

Oh, my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Don't put out the light...

And they look at you like they don't speak your language

E C D

And you're living at the bottom of a well

E C D

And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets

You can't tell...

E C D

Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together

E C D

But you cannot bear to walk outside your door

E C D

No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror

Anymore...

[Chorus]

Oh, my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Oh, my crazy baby

Don't put out the light...

As your worries climb around inside your clothes

Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness

Heaven knows...
