[Dm] [C]

[Dm]Go [C]down to wait all [Dm]night
She's [C]bound to run him [Dm]out
The [C]rest of the nothing of [G]any how
To each his [Dm]own
[Dm]The [C]garden is sorting [Dm]out

I [C]don't know if you're dead or [G]not
If you're any[Dm]one

Come [C]on and get the mini[Dm]mum
Be[C]fore you open up your [Dm]eyes
It's [C]all being served in your [G]hands
Your addled [Dm]eyes
Come [C]on and get to open [Dm]yours
Col[C]lected at the border[Dm]lines
They [C]want to get up [G]in your hair

Cause [Dm]they know, [C]so do [G]I
The [Dm]high road is [C]hard to [G]find
A [Dm]detour in [C]your new [G]life
Tell [Dm]all of your [C]friends getting [G]warm

[Dm]The [C]dogs who ran all [Dm]night
The [C]son who hoped it [Dm]would
[C]Break from the warfare [G]in your house
To each his [Dm]own
The [C]soldier is bailing [Dm]out
And [C]curled his lips on a [Dm]bar
And [C]I don't know if the [G]dead can talk
To any[Dm]one

Come [C]on and get the mini[Dm]mum
[C]Before you open up your [Dm]eyes
It's [C]all being served in [G]your hands
Are you one of [Dm]us
Come [C]on and get to open [Dm]yours
Col[C]lected at the border[Dm]lines
They [C]want to get up [G]in your hair

Cause [Dm]they know, [C]so do [G]I
The [Dm]high road is [C]hard to [G]find
A [Dm]detour in [C]your new [G]life
Tell [Dm]all of your [C]friends getting [G]warm

[Dm][G][Am][C]

[C]It's too late to change your [Am]mind
You [Dm]let laws be your [G]guide
[Repeat till the end, end on C]

Crazy (Gnarls Barkley)

Chords used: Am-C-F-E



Capo on 3

[Am]I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my [C]mind
There was something so pleasant about that [F]place.
Even your emotions had an echo, in so much [E]space

[Am]And when you're out there, without care,
Yeah, I was out of [C]touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know e[F]nough
I just knew too [E]much

Does that make me [Am]crazy?
Does that make me [C]crazy?
Does that make me [F]crazy?
Probab[E]ly…

[A]And I hope that you are having the time of your [F]life
But think [C]twice, that's my only ad[E]vice
Come on now, who do [Am]you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you [C]are,
Ha ha ha bless your [F]soul
You really think you're in con[E]trol

Well, I think you're [Am]crazy!
I think you're [C]crazy!
I think you're [F]crazy, Just like [E]me…

[A]My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a [F]limb
And all I re[C]member is thinking, I want to be like [E]them
[Am]Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like [C]fun
And it's no coincidence I've [F]come, And I can die when I'm [E]done

Maybe I'm [Am]crazy
Maybe you're [C]crazy
Maybe we're [F]crazy
Probab[E]ly…
