Enlighten Me

        C
In my mind I write you letters all the time
          Am                   G
Somehow I never get the pen to paper
           C
And in my life my words always rhyme
             Am           G
And it's a shame I don't hate her or blame her


[Verse 2]

C
Look at that I'm 29
                  Am                             G
And not much has changed since the last time we danced
         C
And I'm good, I'm good I swear to god I'm fine
          Am                        G
I'm just scared to death to take a chance


[Refrain]

               C            Am G
I think you're crazier than me
               C            Am
I think you're crazy as can be
                 G               C
And it frightens me so enlighten me


[Verse 3]

            C
I got your note about the day the girl fell --
             Am                      G
A five story window I don't know too well
       C
And I never wrote you back (can't you tell?)
           Am                  G
That in my mind the image just climbs


[Verse 4]

             C
I spent too long with the wrong kinds of men
              Am                        G
One went to Iraq, came back, but fled again
       C
And I think of them - I do, now and then
           Am                     G
It only reminds me, that's all behind me


[Refrain]

               C            Am G
I think you're crazier than me
               C            Am
I think you're crazy as can be
                 G               C
And it frightens me so enlighten me


[Verse 5]

                   C
The things in this life we're striving to get
                       Am                     G
Are the same as those finding us fools of regret
             C
I remember clearly the day we met
                       Am                           G
'Cause your voice was crystal and your hair was so gold


[Verse 6]

                  C
The need for new love — it's loyalty to an old
                  Am                        G
Though I don't believe it's what I'm being told
                  C
Remember on the platform we stood in the cold?
                    Am                           G
I wonder how we'll stand it, one day when we're old . . .


[Refrain]

                    C         Am G
Will you still be crazy about me?
                    C          Am
Will you still be crazy as can be?
                    G            C
'Cause it frightens me enlighten me


[Verse 7]

                 C
Now who'd ever guess one day we'd cross feet
                  Am                       G
The corner where Houston and Essex Street meet
                 C
And who'd ever guess you'd envision our kid
                 Am                   G
In the back of a car drivin' over a bridge


[Verse 8]

                  C
I don't know how much more I'll take of all this
             Am                        G
Do we come apart or do we join at the hip?
                      C
Or do we both flip a coin; heads or tails — tell me quick —
                  Am                    G
Heads means let's say tails says walk away!


[Refrain]

                C                        Am          G
I think you're crazy, I think you're crazier than me
                C           Am
I think you're crazy as can be
                 G            C
And it frightens me enlighten me


[Verse 9]
            C
Time passes on and we pick up the pen
                          Am                           G
Though we barely write a word before we put it down again
              C
I'm asking myself ain't the sole intention
                    Am                G
To be riddled with love without any question?


[Verse 10]

                       C
It's time we give the lunatic business arrest
                     Am                G
You're borderline romantic at worst I guess
             C
I made a mistake, I got it all wrong
                 Am                          G
It's me who's insane but for the sake of my song


[Refrain]

            C           Am G
I made you crazier than me
          C           Am
I may be crazy as can be
                 G               C
And it frightens me so enlighten me


[Outro]

C
I write you letters all the time in my mind
C
I write you letters all the time in my mind
C
I write you letters all the time in my mind
C
I write you letters . . .
