I [Am]chose this cy[C]cyclone with you

[C] Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me
[F] But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave

[F] Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be
[C] 'Cause we're cr[F]crazy
So tell me,[C]me, who else is gonna kn[F]know me?
At [Am]dinner you take my ring off my [G]middle finger, and

And that's the [Am]closest I've come to [G]my heart exploding
