The Closest Thing To Crazy »
Tiger In The Night

(E)How can I think I'm (B)standing (C#m)strong,
Yet (F#m)feel the air be(A)neath my (E)feet
(C#m)How can happiness (B)feel so (A)wrong
(Gm)How can misery (A)feel so (E)sweet  (repeat for next four lines)
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do
How can I have got in so deep
Why did I fall in love with you
[CHORUS:]
(E)This is the closest thing to crazy
I have (C#m)ever been
Feeling (Gm)22, acting (B)17,
This is the (E)nearest thing to crazy
I have (Gm)ever known,
I was (F#m)never crazy (Am)on my own:
And (E)now I know that there's a (A)link between the(Am)two,
(E)Being close to (A)craziness and (am)being close to (E)you.
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn from you
How can anyone feel so wild
How can anyone feel so blue
[CHORUS]
This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling 22, acting 17,
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own:
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to

	i heard this song when i was in germany.. i and my friends love it and sing it on and on and on.. it became one of the soundtrack of my life.. since i was 22 at that time and fell in love with someone (gladly, the feeling stays until today) she was right! by the time i was acting 17! so childish and naive! :) in indonesia, it wasn't over-played.. it's very seldom actually! i stopped doing anything i did at everytime they play it on radio!! haha..

	Her voice is unbelievable. It has something else about it, kinda like Dido, but alot better

	Fantastic song, an hit that reflects well on the lass. Has an atmosphere in the voice that is quite unique.

No Picture Mike Average	#5 by Mike Dawgg at Oct 1, 2007 at 3:55 AM EST
	I agree, this song was sort of overplayed by most radio stations. However it was an over-played song I liked and I think shows that at least SOME of the time we can play true artists with TALENT. Katie is great and we should encourage more like this.

No Picture Trey Average	#7 by Trey smith at Oct 9, 2007 at 8:24 AM EST
	From my first hearing of 'closest thing to crazy' i found it a truly deep and soothing song depicting the bitterness that love can bring. Katie melua has a rich and sweet voce that really suits the song. i think the meaning of this song is how she is yearning for her love and yet although he has left her she still gets a sense of pleasure thinking about him and that is why it is crazy for her to act this way as he does not seem to return her love, therefore she is not acting mature about it....she feels 22 but acts 17 meaning that as a 22 year old she should try to get over him but is acting like a 17 year old. This is shown in one of my favourite lines when she says 'How can you treat me like a child. Yet, like a child, I yearn for you?' Im not sure if I will like another one of her songs as much as i like this one.

	I've never heard this on the radio... The first time I heard it was on a TV-show, and I've had it on my brain for a couple of years now... So when I found it I was so glad! It is really SO great and Katie has a wonderful voice. I think it's abot unlucky love, someone she loved that hurted her

	This was the song that first made me notice Katie. This song was always going to go mainstream and the album shot to no. 1 because of it. Perhaps overplayed if you're a Katie fan, but still a wonderful song.
