G C/G G C/G G C/G G
[Verse 1]
C G
Always thought a man should have a dream
Em D G
To pick himself up when he’s hit the floor
C G
A fundamental right to some equality
Em D G
In case some old bigot comes knocking at his door
[Verse 2]
C G
Always thought a woman she should have the same
Em D G
With equal rights attached to her name
C G
Maybe they could raise a little family
Em D G
And pass the message onto somebody
[Chorus]
D Em C
I look around sometimes I see
G D G C/G G
People crazy as me
[Verse 3]
C G
Always thought the needy should come first
Em D G
Lighten their burden, lift the curse
C G
And give the old something new
Em D G
Like our grateful hearts for all they’ve been through
[Verse 4]
C G
I never thought that we should see them sick
Em D G
As we take away the hospitals brick by brick
C G
And build our stadiums up so high
Em D G
Got a little contradiction here in my eye
[Chorus]
D Em C
I look around sometimes I see
G D G C/G G
People crazy as me
[Verse 5]
C G
Always thought a child should have the chance
Em D G
To be embraced by love and with her dance
C G
To make mistakes but know the touch of grace
Em D G
And if you beat on them then you’re a disgrace
[Verse 6]
C G
Always give the time of day to anyone
Em D G
Don’t be ignorant and don’t you poke fun
C G
Don’t just deal with those who can give you gain
Em D G
You should treat everybody just the same
[Verse 7]
C G
Don’t think we’re supposed to understand
Em D G
Every card placed in our hand
C G
But I think that we are meant to know
Em D G
We are not alone, wherever we go
[Verse 8]
C G
Always thought that we should live with hope
Em D G
But never trample on those who just can’t cope
C G
With righteousness not far away
Em D G
A little bit of redemption gonna save the day
[Chorus]
D Em C
I look around sometimes I see
G D G C/G G
People crazy as me
D Em C
I look around sometimes I see
G D G C/G G
People crazy as me
