The Closest Thing To Crazy - Katie Melua

Intro: F C F Bb F C

Verse:
F         C                  F
How can I think Iʼm standing strong,
    Bb                        F
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
Dm                        Bb
How can happiness feel so wrong?
Am             C       F      C
How can misery feel so sweet?

F            C            F
How can you let me watch you sleep,
     Bb                           F
Then break my dreams the way you do?
Dm                       Bb
How can I have got in so deep?
Am               C          F  C
Why did I fall in love with you?

Chorus:
             F                            Dm
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
        Gm                  C
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
             F                            Dm
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
      Gm         C
I was never crazy on my own...
     F        Dm               Bb                Db
And now I know, that thereʼs a link between the two,
F              Dm                       C  F
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

C F F Bb F

Verse:
F            C             F
How can you make me fall apart
      Bb                         F
Then break my fall with loving lies?
Dm                     Bb
Itʼs so easy to break a heart;
Am            C             F  C
Itʼs so easy to close your eyes.

F            C               F
How can you treat me like a child
    Bb                         F
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
Dm                     Bb
How can anyone feel so wild?
Am            C       F  C
How can anyone feel so blue?

Chorus:
F                              Dm
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
        Gm                  C
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
           F                              Dm
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
      Gm         C
I was never crazy on my own...
     F        Dm               Bb                Db
And now I know, that thereʼs a link between the two,
F              Dm           C              F  Dm
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

Outro:
Bb     C              F  Dm
And being close to you
Bb                    F
  And being close to you
