The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.
Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game".

A(9)A(9) D(9)EA(9)A(9)D(9) E [intro]
A(9)A(9) D(9)E When I let you go, I cursed myself with empty hands A(9)A(9) D(9)E Strong enough to watch you walk, but not enough to understand it A(9)A(9) D(9)E With spiteful eyes you burn for my grace A(9)A(9) D(9)E I was trying to stand outside of this, you were trying to save face
EED(9)D(9) You can say that I don't care (I don't care) EED(9)D(9) You can hope that we still have something left to AED(9)D(9) share; But just between you, baby, and me AED(9)D(9) Just between me, baby, and you A(9)A(9) D(9)E There's nothing there
I finally found someone I can hold You ask me to defend myself, as if I shouldn't be so bold Well, get that look off of your face I don't have the time, (I don't have the time) and you don't have the place
To say that I don't care (I don't care) And hope that we still have something left to share But just between me, baby, and you Just between you, baby, and me There's nothing there
[Instrumental, same chords as one verse]
Baby, what are you gonna do? I can't salvage any truth from you Everybody else already knows A(9)A(9) D(9)EAA It hurts you to realize, so leave well enough, enough alone
DDEE You don't need my hands to help you understand AADD You don't need to hear my voice (you have no choice) DDEE So don't be throwing stones; the closer we get, the harder they come AADD Now, even if you're feeling alone, don't come home
EEDD 'Cause when it was up to you (when it was up to you) EEDD When it was up to you, you left it up to AE/AD(9)E me (me...) You left it up to AE/AD(9)E me, oh you left, oh you left it up to me EED(9)D(9) A(9)A(9) DEA. When it was up to you, you left it up to me
