   Bm                        G                                    D

1.    You took your coat off and stood in the rain,

                                  A

    you were always crazy like that.

Bm                               G

    I watched from my window,

                                 D                     A

    always felt I was outside looking in on you.

Bm              

    You were always the mysterious one,

            - G

     with      dark eyes and careless hair,

                    - D                                                 A

    you were      fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care.

Bm                                    G                                     D

    Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say,

                                            A

    besides some comment on the weather

                Em

    Well in case you failed to notice,

         Bm

    in case you failed to see,

      D

    this is my heart bleeding before you,

           A

     this is me down on my knees.

2.     You were always brilliant in the morning,

                            D                     A

    smoking your cigarettes, and talking over coffee.

Bm                                                         G

    Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you, you loved Mozart

                       D                                           A

    and you speak of your loved ones as I clumsily strum my guitar.

                 Em                                                  Bm

    Well, excuse me, if that was taking you for somebody else,

D                                                 - A

    somebody who gave a damn,        somebody more like myself.

        G                  A               D                 A               Bm

    These foolish games are tearing me, tearing me, tearing me apart,
