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...
