[Verse 1]
 
Dm              Bb                         F
   You took your coat off and stood in the rain
                C
You were always crazy like that
Dm                      Bb
   And I watched from my window,
                  F                C
always felt I was outside looking in on you
Dm
   You were always the mysterious one
    Bb
with dark eyes and careless hair
        F                               C
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Dm                     Bb                        F
   Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
                    C
besides some comment on the weather
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Gm
   Well, in case you failed to notice
   Bb
In case you failed to see
F                                  C
This is my heart bleeding before you
 
This is me down on my knees
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb            C         F  C/E       Dm
These foolish games are tearing me apart
    Bb               C         F   C/E     Bb
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
                 Dm
You're breaking my heart
 
Bb   F   C
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm                                  Bb
   You were always brilliant in the morning
             F                C
Smoking your cigarettes, and talking over coffee
Dm                                         Bb
   Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
                               F
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
      C
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
Dm
   You'd teach me of honest things
Bb
   Things that were daring, things that were clean
F                                 C
 Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
Dm                         Bb
   So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
F                                    C
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Gm                                    Bb
   Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
 F                     C
Somebody who gave a damn,
 
Somebody more like myself
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb            C         F                  C/E                Dm
These foolish games are tearing me, you're tearing me, you're tearing me apart
    Bb               C         F   C/E   Bb
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
                 Dm
You're breaking my heart
 
Bb   F   C
Dm   Dm
 
 
[Outro]
Dm           Bb                             F
   You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
                 C
you were always crazy like that…

Just a correction; the chord above "apart" should be a Dm, not a Bb. Otherwise; a great tab. Bb C F C Bb These foolish games are tearing me apart
