[Verse 1]
A
Friday night I crashed your party,
Saturday I said I'm sorry
                                E7
Sunday came and trashed me out again

       Bm
I was only having fun,

         G
Wasn't hurting anyone

        E
And we all enjoyed the

                A (Intro lick x2)
Weekend for a change
[Verse 2]
           A
I've been stranded in the combat zone,
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
                                E7
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain

         Bm
And you told me not to drive,

       G
But I made it home alive

         E                              A
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
[Chorus]
N.C.        E
You may be right,

           A
I may be crazy

            E             D
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic

       F#m         A
You're looking for

              E
Turn out the lights,

              A
Don't try to save me

             D              E
You may be wrong for all I know,

                  A
But you may be right

[Verse 3]
  A
Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
                                   E7
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled

          Bm
You were lonely for a man

          G
I said "Take me as I am"

             E                             A (Intro lick x2)
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
[Verse 4]
    A
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
                            E7
I might be as crazy as you say

        Bm
If I'm crazy then it's true

           G
That it's all because of you

         E                          A
And you wouldn't want me any other way
[Chorus]
N.C.        E
You may be right,

           A
I may be crazy

            E             D
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic

       F#m         A
You're looking for

                  E
It's too late to fight

                  A
It's too late to change me

             D              E
You may be wrong for all I know,

                  A
But you may be right
