Yet feel the air beneath my feet?

How can happiness feel so wrong?
G#m            B      E      B
How can misery feel so sweet?
E         B                E
How can you let me watch you sleep,
      A                          E
Then break my dreams the way you do?
C#m               B      A
How can I have got in so deep?

Why did I fall in love with you?

Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,

I was never crazy on my own.

Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
       A                        E
Then break my fall with loving lies?

It's so easy to break a heart;
G#m               A        E     B
It's so easy to close your eyes.
E             B               E
How can you treat me like a child
     A                        E
Yet like a child I yearn for you?

How can anyone feel so wild?
