     D#
He's got so much love for her
        Fm
But he doesn't know what to do
D#
Sitting in the car
 Fm
Waiting outside of school

D#            Fm
He's in for a heartbreak
                  D#
if it's all been blind faith
                  Fm
From my point of view

Chorus:
G#  A#                D#  Cm
Baby, he's got to be crazy
G#     A#         D#      Cm
Living like he's John Wayne
        G#         A#        D#         Cm
Always facing the world and chasing the girl
G#  A#                D#  Fm D# Fm
Baby, he's got to be crazy

He's got so much in his heart
But he doesn't know what to do
All he wants is her
Lying inside his room

He's always feeling cheated,
telling all his secrets
That I couldn't keep

Chorus - x2
