Verses: 

A 
Friday night I crashed your party 

Saturday I said I'm sorry 
                                   E 
Sunday came and trashed me out again 
      Bm 
I was only having fun 
       G 
Wasn't hurting anyone 
       E                               A 
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change 

A 
I've been stranded in the combat zone 

I walked through Bedford Stuy alone 
                                  E 
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain 
        Bm 
And you told me not to drive 
      G 
But I made it home alive 
       E                                A 
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

Verses: 
A 
Remember how I found you there 

Alone in your electric chair 
                                      E 
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled 
         Bm 
You were lonely for a man 
       G 
I said take me as I am 
          E                             A 
Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile 

A 
Now think of all the years you've tried to 

Find someone to satisfy you 
                            E 
I might be as crazy as they say 
       Bm 
If I'm crazy then it's true 
          G 
That it's all because of you 
        E                          A 
And you wouldn't want me any other way
