D
Am I crazy?
          F#m              E
'Cause I think I feel you next to me
When I know you couldn't be
A              D
Know we're in different cities
    F#m            E
And I don't wanna get too close
                   D
I know I'm already exposed

                   F#m       E
So are you feeling stupid, too?
            A             D
I hope I'm not the only fool
                F#m         E
Don't wanna run away from you

Chorus:
                         D
Let's be real, I'm just saying
       F#m             E
If you feel it, don't cage it
       C#m       D
Ooh, I wanna be basic
                F#m          E
'Cause you make me so complicated
                     D
Can I be basic with you?

D        F#m
Ooh, whoa
E
Ooh, whoa
         C#m
Can I be basic with you?
D        F#m
Ooh, whoa
E
Ooh, whoa
         C#m
Can I be basic with you?

Still don't get you
But I get the way you look at me
But there's no guarantee
Let's state the obvious
I'm tired of dancing around your heart
Oh, I need to know my part

So are you feeling stupid, too?
I hope I'm not the only fool
Don't wanna run away from you

Chorus

Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Can I be basic with you?
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa

A    Bm
So I go blindfolded
D
Hoping that I'll crash into you
           F#m
There's no way to control it
A
I don't want to make an excuse
     Bm7
So I go blindfolded
D
Hoping that I'll crash into you
           F#m                        E
There's no way to control it, to control it

Chorus

Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Can I be basic with you?
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Can I be basic with you?

Chorus:
Ooh, I'm just saying
If you feel it, don't cage it
Ooh, I wanna be basic
'Cause you make me so complicated
Can I be basic with you?
