Strum
D-DU-UDU
How  can I think  I'm standing strong,
 Yet feel  the air beneath my feet?
How  can happiness feel  so wrong?
How  can misery feel  so sweet?
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?
 This is the closest  thing to crazy I have ever  been
 Feeling twenty-two,  acting seventeen,
 
 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 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 for you?
 How can anyone feel so wild?
 How can anyone feel so blue?
 ...and being close to you, and being close to you.
