[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
