Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I got inspired to play Crazy this way by a youtube video of a talented girl playing this song in an acoustic version. Unfortunately, I lost the video, so I can't share it with you.
This way of playing the song is basicly just using broken chords, and it sounds really good.

[Verse 1]
AmC I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind F There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo Esus4/E7 In so much space Am And when you're out there, without care, C Yeah, I was out of touch F But it wasn't because I didn't know enough Esus4/E7 I just knew too much
[Chorus]
Am Does that make me crazy? C Does that make me crazy?? F Does that make me crazy??? Esus4/E7 Probably.
[Verse 2]
AF And I hope that you are having the time of your life CEsus4/E7 But think twice, that's my only advice AmC Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are, F Ha ha ha bless your soul Esus4/E7 You really think you're in control
[Chorus]
Am Well, I think you're crazy! C I think you're crazy! F I think you're crazy, Esus4/E7 Just like me.
[Verse 3]
AF My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb CEsus4/E7 And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them AmC Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun F And it's no coincidence I've come Esus4/E7 And I can die when I'm done
[Chorus]
Am Maybe I'm crazy C Maybe you're crazy F Maybe we're crazy Esus4/E7 Probably
