(Em7)“Cra zy” he (A9)calls me; (Dmaj9)sure, (F#7)I’m (B)cra zy,

(Em7)cra zy in love, I’d say.

I (D)say I’ll (Em7)go through (Dmaj7)fi re,

(Dmaj7)and I’ll (Em7)go through (Dmaj7)fi re;

(Dmaj7)as he (Em7)wants it, (F#m7)so it will (F#m7)be.

(Em7)“Cra zy” he (A9)calls me; (Dmaj9)sure, (F#7)I’m (B)cra zy,

(Em7)cra zy in love, I’d say.

I (Em7)cra zy in (A13)love, you see.

(C7)Like the wind

(Em7)“Cra zy” he (A9)calls me; (Dmaj9)sure, (F#7)I’m (B)cra zy,

(Em7)cra zy in (A13)love am I.

(C7)Like the wind
