A5
friday night i crashed your party,    

saturday i said i'm sorry
                                                         E5
sunday came and trashed me out again.
           B5
i was only having fun,   
                G5
wasn't hurting anyone
             E5
and we all enjoyed the 
                           A5        intro (2x)
weekend for a change.

i've been stranded 

in the combat zone, 

i walked through bedford sty alone

even rode my motorcycle in the rain.

and you told me not to drive,   

but i made it home alive

so you said that only proves that i'm insane.
                      E5
you may be right,   
                  A5
i may be crazy
            E5                     D5
but it just may be a lunatic 
               F#5         A5
you're looking for
                     E5
turn out the light,
                     A5
don't try to save me
                         D5                  E5
you may be wrong for all i know, 
                            A5      intro (4x)
but you may be right                               

remember how i found you there, 

alone in your electric chair

i told you dirty jokes until you smiled.

you were lonely for a man,   

i said take me as i am

cause you might enjoy 

some madness for a while.

now think of all the years you tried 

to find some one to satisfy you

i might be as crazy as you say.

if i'm crazy then it's true,   

that it's all because of you

and you wouldn't want me any other way.
