[Verse 1]
Dm Bb F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain
C
You were always crazy like that
Dm Bb
And I watched from my window,
F C
always felt I was outside looking in on you
Dm
You were always the mysterious one
Bb
with dark eyes and careless hair
F C
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Dm Bb F
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
C
besides some comment on the weather
[Pre-chorus]
Gm
Well, in case you failed to notice
Bb
In case you failed to see
F C
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me down on my knees
[Chorus]
Bb C F C/E Dm
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Bb C F C/E Bb
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Dm
You're breaking my heart
Bb F C
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb
You were always brilliant in the morning
F C
Smoking your cigarettes, and talking over coffee
Dm Bb
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
F
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
C
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
Dm
You'd teach me of honest things
Bb
Things that were daring, things that were clean
F C
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
Dm Bb
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
F C
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
[Pre-chorus]
Gm Bb
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
F C
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself
[Chorus]
Bb C F C/E Dm
These foolish games are tearing me, you're tearing me, you're tearing me apart
Bb C F C/E Bb
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Dm
You're breaking my heart
Bb F C
Dm Dm
[Outro]
Dm Bb F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
C
you were always crazy like that…
Dm Bb F C x3
