(E)How can I think I'm (B)standing (cis)strong,

Yet (fis)feel the air be(A)neath my (E)feet

(cis)How can happiness (B)feel so (A)wrong

(g )How can misery (A)feel so (E)sweet (repeat for next four lines)

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


[CHORUS:]
(E)This is the closest thing to crazy

I have (cis)ever been

Feeling (g )22, acting (B)17,

This is the (E)nearest thing to crazy

I have (g )ever known,

I was (fis)never crazy (a )on my own:

And (E)now I know that there's a (A)link between the(a )two,

(E)Being close to (A)craziness and (am)being close to (E)you.


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.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn from you
How can anyone feel so wild
How can anyone feel so blue

[CHORUS]
This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling 22, acting 17,
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own:
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to
