CRAZY GAME (Emily Saliers)
--------------------------
* These are the chords as they are written in the sheet music, although I find
it much, much easier to play this song in D (instead of E). To play in D,
just play all the chords as if they were a whole step lower (e.g., B7 becomes
A7), and capo up two frets. Of course, it doesn't sound quite right that
way, but at least it's humanly possible.
* |'s separate measures.
* If there are two chords in one measure, each chord is half the measure,
and the 2nd-to-last measure of the song (the B7 and B7+5 are quarters).
B7(4) B7(-9+5) | Emaj9 | E9 | F#m9/E | Fmaj7 | E | C#7+5 | F#m9 | B7 B7+5 |
[intro]
| Emaj9 | Bm9/E | A6 | FM7+11 |
Crazy game, I never should have started to play; But now you couldn't tear me
| E | C#7-9+5 | F#m9 | B B+ |
away; Love is sweet, sweet baby, so good to you, and so bad; And I
| Emaj9 | Bm9/E | A6 | FM7+11 |
swear, the situation's clear before my eyes; Confusion wants to break me & it
| E | C#7-9+5 | F#m9 | B9 |
tries; I've been a little bit stronger from the start; Listen to my heart
| Amaj7 | Am6 |
'Cause if you're ever believing I'm thinking of leaving, look to the
| G#m7 | C#7 |
moon, 'cause it's a fact: she may go wandering
| F#m7 G#m7 | Amaj7 A/B |
about, but she always comes shining back, and it's true
| Amaj9 G#m7 | F#7 A6 Am6 |
I'll wait for you
| E | C#7+9+5 | F#m9 | B7 B7+5 |
[instrumental]
You dry your tears, don't be thinking grey is here to stay
Sometimes everything's in the way
You're wanting to look at it, turn your view around, dry your eyes
Eyes like yours should carry a smile, I haven't seen them sparkle in a while
Give it one more try, dry your eyes
'Cause if you're ever believing I'm thinking of leaving
Look to the moon, 'cause it's a fact
She may go wandering about, but she always comes shining back, and it's true
I'll wait for you
| E | C#7+9+5 | Em9 B7 B7+5 | Emaj9 .
[instrumental]
