Intro : Dm   Bb   F   C     (2x)

        Dm                 Bb                   F
     You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
                            C
     You were always crazy like that
      Dm                  Bb
     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
     Gm
     Well 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
     Bb          C              F          Dm
     These foolish games are tearing me apart
     Bb             C             F           Bb
     Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
                        Dm
     You're breaking my heart
      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
     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
    Gm                                               Bb
     Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
    F
     Somebody who gave a damn,
    C
     Somebody more like myself
    Bb            C          F             Dm
     These foolish games are tearing me apart
    Bb               C             F          Bb
     Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
                         Dm
     You're breaking my heart
     Dm           Bb                          F
     You took your coat off and stood in the rain
                            C
