he was crazy, of course

         G                   F
from the first she must have known it

        G
but she ***** went on with him

    G              Am
and never once had shown it

    Am
she took him off the streets

        G                  F

            Am
when he was too far gone for giving love

        G

        Am
was the knowledge she was the only thing

     F              Am
that was not in his head
