I got inspired to play Crazy this way by a youtube video of a talented girl
playing this song in an acoustic version. Unfortunately, I lost the video, so I
can't share it with you.
This way of playing the song is basicly just using broken chords, and it sounds really good.
Tuning: eBGDAE
Capo 3rd fret (recommended, but can be played without)
--------
Riffs: (relative to capo)
[Am] [C] [F]
[Esus4]/[E7] (played into the chorus)
e|---------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|
B|-----1---1---1-|-----1---1---1-|-----1---1---1-|-----0---0---0---0-|
G|-----2---2---2-|-----0---0---0-|-----2---2---2-|-----2---2---1---1-|
D|---------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|

The intro is just the Am riff a couple of times...
Verse 1
[Am] [C]
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
[F]
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
[Esus4]/[E7]
In so much space
[Am]
And when you're out there, without care,
[C]
Yeah, I was out of touch
[F]
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
[Esus4]/[E7]
I just knew too much
Chorus
[Am]
Does that make me crazy?
[C]
Does that make me crazy??
[F]
Does that make me crazy???
[Esus4]/[E7]
Probably.
Verse 2
[A] [F]
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
[C] [Esus4]/[E7]
But think twice, that's my only advice
[Am] [C]
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
[F]
Ha ha ha bless your soul
[Esus4]/[E7]
You really think you're in control
Chorus
[Am]
Well, I think you're crazy!
[C]
I think you're crazy!
[F]
I think you're crazy,
[Esus4]/[E7]
Just like me.
Verse 3
[A] [F]
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
[C] [Esus4]/[E7]
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
[Am] [C]
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
[F]
And it's no coincidence I've come
[Esus4]/[E7]
And I can die when I'm done
Chorus
[Am]
Maybe I'm crazy
[C]
Maybe you're crazy
[F]
Maybe we're crazy
[Esus4]/[E7]
Probably
Outro
[Am] [C] [F] [Esus4]/[E7] ending on a slowly strummed
[E] major
