Lyrics

I met my (G)old

(G7)lov er on the (C)street last night.

She seemed (G)so glad to see me, I just (Bsus4)smiled.

(Eb)And we (D)talked a bout some old times and we (F)drank our selves some (C#)beers.

Still (G)cra zy (G)af ter (D13)all (D#)these (Em)years.

(C#)Oh, still (G)cra zy af ter (D6)all (D7)these (Cm)years.

I’m not the (C)kind of (G)man

who (G7)tends to (C)so cial ize.

I seem to (G)lean on old fa mil iar ways.

And I (D)ain’t no fool for (G7)love songs that (F)whis per in my (C#)ears.

Still cra zy (C)af ter (D6)all (D7)these (Em)years.

(C#)Oh, still cra zy af ter (D13)all (D7)these (G9)years.

Four in the morn ing; (Emaj7)crapped (E)out, (B)yawn (Em)ing; (G#m7)long ing my (C#7sus4)life (C#7)a (F#maj7)way.

(Em7)I’ll nev er (B)wor (C)ry; (B)why (C)should I?

It’s all gon na fade.

Now I sit by my (G)win dow and I watch the cars.

I fear I’ll do some (D#)dam age one fine day.

(E7)But I (A)would not be con (A7)vict ed by a ju ry of my peers.

Still cra zy (D)af ter (A)all these years.

(D#)Oh, still cra zy,

(A)still (D)cra zy,

still (A)cra zy af ter (E6)all these (A)years.
