_ Back before I was a movie star, _ _ straight off of the farm, _ _ _ I had a picture of [E] another man's
wife _ _ _ tattooed on my arm. _
_ With a pack of chemo [D] _ _
cigarettes in the sleeve of my t-shirt, _ _ _ I'm heading out [E] to Hollywood
_ just to have [A] my feelings heard. _
_ _ That town don't [D] make you crazy, _ _ just give it a little [A] time. _
_ _ You'll be walking [E] around in _ circles _ down in Hollywood [A] and Vine. _
_ You'll be waiting [D] on a phone call at the wrong end [A] of a broom. _
_ _ Yes, that town don't [E] make you _ crazy, _ _ crazy [A] as a loon. _
_ _ So I headed [D] down to Nashville _ to become a [A] country star. _
_ _ Every night you'd [E] find me _ hanging at every honky [A]-tonking bar. _
_ _ Pretty soon I [D] met a _ woman, _ pretty soon [A] she'd done me wrong. _
_ _ Pretty soon my [E] life got _ sadder _ [E] _ [A] than any country song. _
_ _ _ That town [D] don't make you crazy, _ just give it [A] a little time. _
_ _ You'll be walking [E] around in circles, _ looking for [A] that country ride.
_ _ You'll be waiting [D] on a phone call at the wrong [A] end of a broom.
_ _ Yes, that town [E] don't make you _ crazy, _ _ crazy [A] as a loon.

_ _ So I gathered [D] up my _ savvy, _ bought myself a [A] business suit. _
_ I headed up to [E] New York _ City where a man can [A] make some loot. _
_ _ I got hired [D] Monday _ morning, _ that size that [A] afternoon. _
_ _ _ Overcome with [E] grief that evening, _ _ now I'm crazy [A] as a loon. _
_ _ So I'm up here [D] in the _ _ _ [D] Northwoods, just staring [A] at a lake. _
_ _ Wondering just [E] exactly how much _ they [A] think a man can take. _
_ _ I ain't finished to [D] pass the time away, _ beneath this blue [A] Canadian moon. _
_ This old world has [E] made me crazy, _ _ _ crazy [A] as a loon. _
_ Lord, this world don't make [E] you crazy, _ _ crazy [A] as a loon. _
