F                 C
I walk down my street at night

     G
The city lights are cold and violent

F           C             G
I am comforted by the approaching sounds of trucks and sirens

F                C
Even though the world's so bad

       G
These men rush out to help the dying

      F             C
And though I am no use to them

  G
I do my part by simply smiling

      F              C
The ghetto boys are catcalling me

G
As I pull my keys from my pocket

F             C             G
I wonder if this method of courtship

    F            C 
Has any girl in history said

 G
Sure, you seem so nice, let's get it on?

  F              C                G
Still, I always shock them when I answer

    F                              C
and I'm not gonna live my life on one side of an ampersand

    G                            F
and even if I went with you I'm not the girl you think I am

    F
and I'm not gonna match you

            C
cause I'll lose my voice completely yeah

G
I'm just gonna watch you

           F
Cause I'm not the one that's crazy

F             C
I have wasted years of my life

G
Agonizing up at the fires

  F              C                   G
I started when I thought that to be strong you must be flame retardant

    F                 C                G
And now to dress the wounds calls into question how authentic they are

         F              C           G
There is always someone criticizing me

F     C     G
Lying in my bed

    F      C        G
I remember what you said

                F        C   G
There's no such thing as accidents

                    Am
But you've got the headstone all ready

     C
All carved up and pretty

      G
Your sick satisfaction

       F
Those his and hers matching

     Am
The daisies all push up'n

  C
Pairs to the horizons

      G
Your hands full of ketchup

      F
It's nice that you're trying

     Am
The headstone's all ready

     C
All carved up and pretty

      G
Your sick satisfaction

       F
Those his and hers matching

     Am
The daises all push up'n

  C
Pairs to the horizons

      G
Your eyes full of ketchup

      F
It's nice that you're trying

     F                             C
and I'm not gonna live my life on one side of an ampersand

    G                            F
and even if I went with you I'm not the girl you think I am

     F
and I'm not gonna match you

            C
cause I'll lose my voice completely yeah

G
I'm just gonna watch you

           F
Cause I'm not the one that's crazy

     F
I'm not the one that's crazy

F             C
As I wake up two o'clock

      G
The fire burned the block

                 F             C
But ironically stopped at my apartment

         G
And my housemates are all sleeping soundly

     F      C
And nobody deserves to die

     G
But you were awful adamant

     F            C
That if I didn't love you

          G
Then you have just one alternative

    F
And I may be romantic

    C
And I may risk my life for it

    G
But I ain't gonna die for you

      F
You know I ain't no Juliet

    F                                  C
And I'm not gonna watch you while you burn yourself out baby

   G
No I'm not gonna stop you

           F                                  C   G   F
Cause I'm not the one that's crazy, yeah

                                              C   G   F
I'm not the one that's crazy, yeah

                                             (C)
I'm not the one that's crazy...
