Tabbed by: Spunde
E-mail: TheSpunde at Gmail.com

Tuning: Eb standard

Notes: 
Keep an eye out for the rhythm at the beginning of the first 3 measures of 
the intro riff. The rhythm in the first beat is a 16th,then two 32nds, then 
two 16ths. I'm adding the counting bellow each line. I've tabbed this out 
by ear, and by scouring the youtubes for live videos to see where his 
fingers are, and what they're doing during the intro riff.
32nds are counted as 1e+a&e+a, 16ths are 1 e & a, 8ths are 1 &

Here's a diagram of how each chord should be played:
    E   A   C#  B  C#/A
e|--0---0---0---0---0--|
B|--0---0---0---0---0--|
G|--1---2---6---4---2--|
D|--2---2---6---4---2--|
A|--2---0---4---2---4--|
E|--0------------------|



***IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THE CHORUS***
The second A chord that's played in the chorus is anticipated. 



Intro Riff: I've seen this tabbed, and covered a lot of different ways. So 
really, you can do this anyway you want. This tab is just the way I'm 95% 
sure it goes. lol

Mandolin solo on guitar:
you can play it in this octave, or move it up twelve frets, so that it's 
the same octave as mandolin.

Chorus
A
But I don't want good and I don't want good enough
A
I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love
E                                        (walk down A string 7-6-4-2)    
Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else
A
Who cares if you're all I think about,
A
I've searched the world and I know now,
C#m                                   B
It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind
E
Yea I don't want easy, I want crazy                              
E                                                         
Yeah, look at us baby, tonight the midnight rules are breaking
E                                                    A (hit the A on beat 4)
There's no such thing as wild enough, maybe we just think too much
E
Who needs to play it safe in love?
E
Let's be crazy!


Intro Riff
The chord prog. is just like earlier in the song with E for 1 3/4 measures, 
then A on the 4 of every other bar. 

E                                       A (each of these A chords land on 4)
Who cares if we're crazy, we gotta be crazy
E                                       A
I know that we're crazy, so let's be crazy



The song ends with just acoustic playing the intro, the band hitting A on 
beat 4 of the second bar of the riff, and then hitting a big fat tonic E on 
the & of 4 in the last bar.
