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

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

Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say

besides some comment on the weather

Well, in case you failed to notice

This is my heart bleeding before you This is me down on my knees

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

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

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

Somebody who gave a damn, Somebody more like myself
