Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,

 You were always crazy like that

I watched from my window,

 always felt I was outside looking in on you

 You were always the mysterious one

 with dark eyes and careless hair,

 You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care

 Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say

 besides some comment on the weather

Bridge

 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

Chorus

These foolish games are tearing me apart

You're thoughtless words are breaking my heart

 You're breaking my heart

Verse 2

 You were always brilliant in the morning

 Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee

 You philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,

 You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones

 As I clumsily strummed my guitar

You'd teach me of honest things

Things that were daring, things that were clean

Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean

 So I hid my soiled hands behind my back

Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you

Bridge

Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else

Somebody who gave a damn,

Somebody more like myself

REPEAT CHORUS.

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,

 you were always crazy like that
