VERSE I
Am Am F F C C
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
G G
You were always crazy like that
Am Am F F
I watched from my window,
C C G G
always felt I was outside looking in on you
Am Am
You were always the mysterious one
F F
with dark eyes and careless hair,
C C G G
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Am Am F F C C
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
G G
besides some comment on the weather


BRIDGE:

Dm Dm
Well in case you failed to notice,
F F
In case you failed to see,
C C
This is my heart bleeding before you,
G G
This is me down on my knees


CHORUS:
F F G G C C G G F F
These foolish games are tearing me apart
F F G G C C G G F F
You're thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Am Am
You're breaking my heart


VERSE II
Am Am F F
You were always brilliant in the morning
C C G G
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
Am Am F F
You philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
C C
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
G G
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
Am Am
You'd teach me of honest things
F F
Things that were daring, things that were clean
C C G G
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
Am Am F F
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
C C G G
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you


BRIDGE:
Dm Dm F F
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
C C
Somebody who gave a damn,
G G
Somebody more like myself

REPEAT CHORUS.


D D F F C C
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
G G
you were always crazy like that

Couple of changes, the D at the end should be a Dm. the Dm at the bridge is better as an E in my opinion and in the chorus as well as several other verses that have an Am to F, I like to throw in a Dm for flavor, it makes the song sound more full. But otherwise a great start and an awesome song!
