[Intro 1]
[G][C][Am][F][G][C][Am][F][C]
[G][F][C][G]
[F][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[F]I walk down my s[C]treet at night
The [G]city lights are strange and violent
[F]I am comfort[C]ed by the app[G]roaching
sounds of trucks and sirens
[F]Even though the [C]world's so bad
These [G]men rush out to help the dying
And [F]though I am no [C]use to them
I [G]do my part by simply smiling
[F][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
The [F]ghetto boys [C]are catcalling me
[G]As I pull my keys from my pocket
I [F]wonder if this [C]method of court[G]ship
Has ever been effective
Has [F]any girl in [C]history said
[G]Sure, you seem so nice, let's get it on
[F]Still, I always [C]shock them when I [G]answer
Hi my name's Amanda
And [F]I'm not gonna live my life
on [C]one side of an ampersand
And [G]even if I went with you
I'm not the girl you think I am
And [F]I'm not gonna match you
'Cause I'll lose my
[C]voice completely yeah
[G]I'm just gonna watch you
'Cause I'm not the
one that's [F]crazy[C]
[G]Yeah
[F][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[F]I have wasted y[C]ears of my life
[G]Agonizing up at the fires
It [F]started when I [C]thought that to be
[G]strong you must be flame retardant
And [F]now to dress the [C]wounds
cause into [G]question
How authentic they are
There is [F]always someone
[C]criticizing [G]me
She just likes paying hospital
[F]Lying [C]in my [G]bed
I re[F]member [C]what you [G]said
There's no such [F]thing as
[C]accident[G]s

[Verse 4]
But you've got the [Am]headstone all ready
All craved [C]up and pretty
[Am]Your [D]sick satisfaction
Those his and hers match[Am]ing
The daisies all push up'n
Pairs to [C]the horizons
Your [D]hands full of ketchup
It's [Adim]nice that you're trying
The [Am]headstone's all ready
All carved [C]up and pretty
[Am]Your [D]sick satisfaction
Those his and hers match[Am]ing
The daises all push up'n
Pairs to [C]the horizon[Am]s
Your [D]eyes full of ketchup
It's nice that [Adim]you're trying

[Verse 5]
And [F]I'm not gonna live my life
on [C]one side of an ampersand
And [G]even if I went with you
I'm not the girl you think I am
And [F]I'm not gonna match you
'Cause I'll [C]lose my voice completely yeah
[G]I'm just gonna watch you
Cause I'm not the one that's [F]crazy[C]
[G]Yeah
[F]I'm not [C]the one that's crazy
[G]Yeah...

[Verse 6]
[F]As [C]I wake up to a cough
[G]The [Bm]blaze consumed the block
But [D]poetically [F]stopped at my apart[C]ment
And my [Bm]housemates are all sleeping soundly
[D]And nob[F]ody deser[C]ves to die
But [G]you were awful adamant
[F]That if I didn't [C]love you
Then you [G]have just one alternative

[Verse 7]
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 know I ain't no Juliet
And [F]I'm not gonna watch you wanna
[C]burn yourself out baby
No [G]I'm not gonna stop you
'Cause I'm not the one that's [F]crazy,
yeah
I'm not the [C]one that's crazy,
[G]yeah
I'm not the one that's crazy...
