[F]I walk down my str[C]eet at night
The c[G]ity lights are strange and violent
[F]I am comfort[C]ed by the appr[G]oaching sounds of trucks and sirens
[F]Even though the w[C]orld's so bad
These m[G]en rush out to help the dying
And th[F]ough I am no u[C]se to them
I [G]do my part by simply smiling
(repeat intro or F C G G x2)
The gh[F]etto boys are c[C]atcalling me
[G]As I pull my keys from my pocket
[F]I wonder if th[C]is method of c[G]ourtship
Has ever been effective
Has [F]any girl in h[C]istory said
S[G]ure, you seem so nice, let's get it on?
St[F]ill, I always s[C]hock them when I [G]answer
Hi, my name's Amanda,
and [F]I'm not gonna live my life on o[C]ne side of an ampersand
and [G]even if I went with you I'm n[F]ot the girl you think I am
and [F]I'm not gonna match you
cause I'll l[C]ose my voice completely yeah
[G]I'm just gonna watch you
Cause I'm n[F]ot the one that's crazy
(repeat intro or F C G G x2)
[F]I have wasted y[C]ears of my life
[G]Agonizing up at the fires
It st[F]arted when I th[C]ought that to be str[G]ong you must be flame retardant
And n[F]ow to dress the wo[C]unds cause into q[G]uestion
How authentic they are
There is [F]always someone crit[C]icizing [G]me
She just likes paying hospital
L[F]ying [C]in my b[G]ed
I rem[F]ember wh[C]at you s[G]aid
There's no such thing as accidents
But you've got the h[Am]eadstone all ready
All c[C]arved up and pretty
Your s[G]ick satisfaction
Those h[F]is and hers matching
The d[Am]aisies all push up'n
Pa[C]irs to the horizons
Your h[G]ands full of ketchup
It's n[F]ice that you're trying
The h[Am]eadstone's all ready
All c[C]arved up and pretty
Your s[G]ick satisfaction
Those h[F]is and hers matching
The d[Am]aises all push up'n
Pa[C]irs to the horizons
Your e[G]yes full of ketchup
It's n[F]ice that you're trying
and I[F]'m not gonna live my life on o[C]ne side of an ampersand
and [G]even if I went with you I'm n[F]ot the girl you think I am
and I[F]'m not gonna match you
cause I'll l[C]ose my voice completely yeah
[G]I'm just gonna watch you
Cause I'm n[F]ot the one that's crazy
Yeah...
I'm n[F]ot the one that's crazy
Yeah...
[F]As I wake up t[C]o a cough
The bl[G]aze consumed the block
But poetically st[F]opped at my ap[C]artment
And my ho[G]usemates are all sleeping soundly
And n[F]obody d[C]eserves to die
But y[G]ou were awful adamant
That [F]if I didn't l[C]ove you
Then you h[G]ave just one alternative
And [F]I may be romantic
And [C]I may risk my life for it
But [G]I ain't gonna die for you
You kn[F]ow I ain't no Juliet
And [F]I'm not gonna watch you while you b[C]urn yourself out baby
No [G]I'm not gonna stop you
Cause I'm n[F]ot the one that's crazy, yeah[C] [G] [F]
I'm not the one that's crazy, yeah[C] [G] [F]
I'm not the one that's crazy...[(C)]
