So you think the girl is crazy
Eb Gm7-5/Db C7 Fm
She eat up your lies like it's good

(Your lies like apple pie)
Fm C7 Fm
(She don't even cry)
Db
She is not a fool
Bb Eb
She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to
To love you
Ab Eb/G
And as you take to the wind
(to the wind again she breaks down)
Ab Db9
And as she breaks down within (within, within)
Pre-chorus:

She waits for you patiently
Ab/Bb
Hopin' that someday you'll see

Ab/Bb Gm Ab
Is yours and yours alone, eternally

(Ab) Gm Fm Eb
What do you want the girl to do

Ab Gm Fm Eb
What do you want the girl to do
Ab [N.C.] G Cm G7/B Cm Ab/Bb
All she really wants is you
Verse 2:
She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen if you let her
(Just say the word today)
(Build the world around her)
Now and then you'll promise
All the way-out things you're goin' to get her
(You will see, you will see)
'Cause maybe she knows better
(You're so damn glad you found her, found her, years ago)
As she watched you come and go (all you'll show)
And as she watched your promises erode
[repeat pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
