[D]
[G] [D]
Little boy in the backseat asking,
[Em] why do all these songs keep saying,
[D] baby, you're
driving [G] me crazy.
[D]
Why do they always say [G] that same thing?
I said, you all know what it means to be 16, and you're driving around, feeling free with
your favorite girl on the bench seat, trying to speak louder than your heartbeat.
And you're working hard to get it right, because thinking about her gets you up all night,
because she drives you wild with a single smile.
She's so fine, you're going out of your mind, and [Em] that'll all make sense [G] someday.
That's what they mean when they say crazy.
[C] That's what they mean when they [Em] say crazy.
[C] [G]
Well, how about when they talk about heartbreak,
[Em] and somebody's always leaving,
[D] and you just
can't [C] get them back?
[D] Tell me if you ever felt [C] like that.
[G] I said it happened to me when I was 18, helping to pack for the Ivy [C] League, and I watched
the car drive away.
I [G] loved her too much to ask her to stay, and my friend said, you're going to be all right.
But thinking about her kept me up all night, [C] so I called her up a thousand times.
Well, she must have thought I was out of my mind, [Em] and you're probably going to feel that way someday.
[C] That's what they mean when they say [G] heartbreak.
[C] That's what they mean when they [Em] say [C] heartbreak.
That's what they mean when they [G] say crazy.
[C]
[Em] [C]
I know you didn't ask, [G] but at 22, I found the one.
And I just [G] knew when I thought of him, she said, I do.
We settled down, [C] then had you.
[Em] And every day just keeps on getting [C] better,
[Em] growing old [C] together.
That's what they mean when they [G] say forever.
That's what they mean when they [Em] say forever.
[C] That's what they mean when they [D] say crazy.
[C] That's what they mean when they [Em] say crazy.
[C] That's what they mean when they say [G] crazy.
