C#m    A
Fifteen
E                G#m
You were fifteen when we first met
C#m    A
Sixteen
E          G#m
When you became my princess


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m          A
You took the throne and
E        G#m
You asked for my right hand
C#m          A          E      G#m
And I gave it because I love you


[Chorus]
C#m
Catherine the great
   A
We met by fate
    E
But you were too young
    G#m
And I was too late
C#m
You locked me up
      A
Cause you grew to hate me
    E
Now I can see why
     G#m                    C#m
They all called me crazy to love you


[Verse 2]
C#m     A
Eighteen
E     G#m
And I am going mad
C#m   A
Twenty
E          G#m
And you’ve ordered me dead


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m       A
You threw me out and
E         G#m
Destroyed our destiny
C#m         A          E   G#m
And now I’m fighting myself


[Chorus]
C#m
Catherine the great
   A
We met by fate
    E
But you were too young
    G#m
And I was too late
C#m
You locked me up
      A
Cause you grew to hate me
    E
Now I can see why
     G#m                    C#m
They all called me crazy to love you


[Instrumental]
C#m  A  E  G#m
C#m  A  E  G#m
C#m  A  E  G#m
C#m  A  E  G#m


[Chorus]
C#m
Catherine the great
     A
Your beauty so grand
E
Together we
      G#m
Could have ruled the land
C#m
I guess I think
    A
Too much with my heart
      E
Cause I let you in
        G#m
And you tore me apart
C#m
Catherine the great
   A
We met by fate
    E
But you were too young
    G#m
And I was too late
C#m
You locked me up
      A
Cause you grew to hate me
    E
Now I can see why
     G#m                    C#m
They all called me crazy to love you
