I got inspired to play Crazy this way by a youtube video of a talented girl
playing this song in an acoustic version. Unfortunately, I lost the video, so I
can't share it with you.
This way of playing the song is basicly just using broken chords, and it sounds really good.
Tuning: eBGDAE
Capo 3rd fret (recommended, but can be played without)
--------
Riffs: (relative to capo)
Am C F Esus4/E7 (played into the chorus)

The intro is just the Am riff a couple of times...
Am C
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
F
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
Esus4/E7
In so much space
Am
And when you're out there, without care,
C
Yeah, I was out of touch
F
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
Esus4/E7
I just knew too much
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gnarls_barkley/crazy_crd_ver_8.html ]
Am
Does that make me crazy?
C
Does that make me crazy??
F
Does that make me crazy???
Esus4/E7
Probably.
A F
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
C Esus4/E7
But think twice, that's my only advice
Am C
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
F
Ha ha ha bless your soul
Esus4/E7
You really think you're in control
Am
Well, I think you're crazy!
C
I think you're crazy!
F
I think you're crazy,
Esus4/E7
Just like me.
A F
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
C Esus4/E7
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Am C
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
F
And it's no coincidence I've come
Esus4/E7
And I can die when I'm done
Am
Maybe I'm crazy
C
Maybe you're crazy
F
Maybe we're crazy
Esus4/E7
Probably
Outro:
Am C F Esus4/E7 ending on a slowly strummed E major
