1. 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            A       D   A
   How can misery feel so sweet 
   
2. How can you let me watch you sleep
   Then break my dreams the way you do
   How can I have got in so deep
   Why did I fall in love with you

                 D                           F#m
R: This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
            Em7                 A
   Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
                 D                           F#m
   This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
          Em7            G
   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            A             D
   Being close to craziness, and being close to you

3. How can you make 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
   
4. How can you treat me like a child
   Yet like a child I yearn for you
   How can anyone feel so wild
   How can anyone feel so blue

R: This is the closest...

              A             D
D Bm.... and being close to you (2x)
