Foolish Games

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


[Pre-chorus]

         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      Am
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

F – C – G


[Verse 2]

                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


[Pre-chorus]

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


[Chorus]

F             G        C   G      Am
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

F – C – G

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