Jars plays this song a couple of different ways. This is the album
version, not a live or the dove awards version.
I've got almost all the Jars' songs in case you want to know how to play
them exactly the way they do. Feel free to email me about this
transcription or any other song by them. (isaiahrain@hotmail.com or

                   Crazy Times

Intro: Cmaj7 - Am* - Cmaj7 - Am* - Bsus

Verse 1:         Cmaj7   Am*        Cmaj7
                   You're cold that way
                       Am*            Cmaj7
                   And that's why you say
                       Am*             Bsus
                   The things that you say
                  Cmaj Am*   Cmaj7
                   You can't attract
                       Am*             Cmaj7
                   The things that you lack
                          Am*       G    D/F#
                   You're trying in vain

                   Chorus:
                  E   C          G         D/F#   E
                   It seems it's always the crazy times
                       C    G                  Am*    E
                   You find you'll wake up and realize
                       C    G              D/F#   Bsus
                   It takes more than your saline eyes
                                  B7sus
                   To make things right

Verse 2: (same as verse 1)
                   You spiral down
                   You've broken your crown
                   You don't feel like a queen
                   You've seen the proof
                   But you're still crying wolf
                   You'll never believe

                   [Chorus]

                  C7
                   You try to climb a broken ladder
                   Grip the missing rungs
                            Em    Dsus/F#  Em/G  Am*
                   And fall down, down,    down, down,
                  C7
                   Seems sometime ago you said
                   This wouldn't last
                                        Bsus   B7sus
                   And now you sit here crying       (Ya-e-yea-a-ah!)

                   (guitar solo)
                    E - C - G - D/F# - E - C - G - Am*

Verse 3 - (intro): Cmaj7 - Am* - Cmaj7 - Am* - Bsus

              Cmaj7   Am*      Cmaj7
                   Beside your bed
                       Am*           Cmaj7
                   You feel left for dead
                       Am*          G    D/F#
                   You kneel in the dark...

(first part of chorus): E - C - G - D/F# - E - C - G - Am*

                  E   C     G              D/F#   Bsus
                   It takes more than your saline eyes
                                  B7sus
                   To make things right

                   [Chorus]

Outro: Cmaj7 - Am* - Cmaj7 - Am* - Cmaj7 - B7sus
