Foolish Games Tab

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
                                       
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 II
                               
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…
