hey this is in the key of F instead of C (like the others on this site) 
it should be much better if ur looking for an easier version! Its just
the same and as good! I recommend playing it this way. (o:

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


BRIDGE:

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


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


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


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

REPEAT CHORUS.

D ? F ? C ? G

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