guitar. vocal.

[intro.]
[v.line] You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You were always crazy like that
[v.line] I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you
[v.line] You were always the mysterious one with dark eyes and careless
hair... You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care.
[v.line] You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say...
besides some comment on the weather
[v.line] Well in case you failed to notice; in case you failed to see..
This is my heart bleeding before you; this is me down on my knees

[c.line] These foolish games are tearing me apart
[c.line] Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
[intro.]
[v.line] You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee...
[v.line] Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you, You loved Mozart
you'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar
[v.line] You'd teach me of honest things...
Things that were daring, things that were clean...
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
[v.line] So I hid my soiled hands behind my back,
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
[v.line] Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn, Somebody more like myself

[c.line] These foolish games are tearing me apart
[c.line] Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
[intro.]
[Dm x 4]
[v.line] You took off your coat and stood in the rain
You were always like that

[repeat intro and fade...]
