Maybe It's Crazy

Em                       D                Em
I like a man who wears a lab coat when he works.
Em                           D                            Em    B7
I think those hero types are rude and dull, and generally jerks.
Em
Let me tell you how a lover behaves --
   C
He lets you hold the shovel when he’s robbing graves.
G                     D                  Em
Maybe it’s crazy, but baby, love usually is.

Em                            D                    Em
I like a man who knows things men weren’t meant to know.
Em                     D                             Em  B7
Who grabs ideas in his teeth and then won’t ever let go.
Em
I know that I’m no Bride of Frankenstein,
                C
But we could be electric if he’d just be mine --
G                     D                  Em
Maybe it’s crazy, but baby, love usually is.

	C
	The perfect guy for me
	
	In university
	    E                        F#m
	Was laughed at by all of his peers.
	C
	And now he’s off his head,
	
	He’s bringing back the dead;
	                                     F#m
	Been planning his revenge for twenty years!
	C
	He’s brilliant but insane;
	
	I love him for his brain
	                                F#m
	And blatant disregard for human life.
	C
	He needs a right-hand girl,
	
	And I could rock his world.
	                               F#m           G#m
	Forget about that Igor, let me be his loving wife!

Em                      D                Em
I like a man who’s into working with his hands;
Em                             D           Em    B7
The kind of guy whose theories no one understands.
Em
I’ve got a hunch that I would be just fine
         C
With the kind of love that’s best preserved in turpentine --
G                     D                  Em
Maybe it’s crazy, but baby, love usually is.

	C
	The guy that I adore
	
	Is always looking for
	    E                  F#m
	The secret to having it all.
	C
	And sure, that angry mob
	
	May not support his job,
	                                          F#m
	But while we flee the crowd, we’ll have a ball!
	C
	I know he’ll treat me right;
	
	We’ll tryst by candlelight,
	                                  F#m
	And resurrect a priest to tie the knot.
	C
	I swear that he’s not bad,
	
	He’s just a little...mad.
	                                       F#m            G#m
	We’ll unlock hidden knowledge that was better left forgot!

Em                          D               Em
I like a guy who breaks the laws of God and man;
Em                        D                          Em  B7
Who laughs maniacally and always has to tell you his plan.
Em
I’ll call him Master, and I’m eager to please --
    C
I’m good around the lab and better down on my knees,
    G                 C
Oh, maybe it’s crazy, maybe it’s crazy,
G                     D                  Em
Maybe it’s crazy, but baby, love usually is!
