Obviously a piano song but it sounds quite nice using a
little fingrpicking

Intro: Dm Bb F C


VERSE 1:


Dm              Bb                      F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain

                C
You were always crazy like that

Dm                Bb                        F
I watched from my window, always felt I was outside

        C
looking in on you

Gm                                      Bb
You were always the mysterious one 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

Gm
In case you failed to notice

    Bb
In case you failed to see

F

This is my heart bleeding before you

C
This is me down on my knees




CHORUS:


    Bb            C         F   C       Dm
And these foolish games are tearing me apart

Bb               C         F    C       Bb
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

                          Dm Bb F C
You're breaking my heart




VERSE 2


Dm                               Bb
You were always brilliant in the morning

             F           C
Smoking your cigarettes, 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

Gm
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
I hid my soiled hands behind my back

F                                    C
Somewhere along the line I must have gone off track with you

Gm                                   Bb
Excuse me, I think I've mistaken you for somebody else

F

Somebody who gave a damn

C
Somebody more like myself


REPEAT CHORUS

AD LIB          Dm Bb F C Dm

Dm       Bb             F
You took your coat off stood in the rain

C
You were always crazy like that

Dm Bb F C etc....fade
