This is gonna sound a little bit crazy

A little bit out of the blue

I’ve been thinking ’bout you baby

G

So I thought I’d tell you

I can’t find a way to say it

And I know that you already know

G

But I thought you should know

Chorus

C G

In case you didn’t know

D Em C

Baby I’m crazy ’bout you and I would be lying

G D

You had my heart a long, long time ago

Em C

In case you didn’t know
