NOTE: this is, basically, a piano tune transcribed for acoustic guitar.

      the tab provided here differs in the following respects:
   1) the guitar is tuned up; (low E and A strings tuned up 1/2 step
   2) the variation on the 'C' chord during the intro is different; 
   3) the chord progression during the chorus is different, 
      and has been tabbed in full.

guitar.  vocal.
======== =================================================================
[intro.]
[v.line] You took your coat off and stood in the rain, 
         You were always crazy like that 
[v.line] I watched from my window, 
         Always felt I was outside looking in on you 
[v.line] You were always the mysterious one with dark eyes and careless 
         hair... You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care. 
[v.line] You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say...
         besides some comment on the weather 
[v.line] 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

[c.line] These foolish games are tearing me apart 
[c.line] Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart 
         You're breaking my heart
[intro.]
[v.line] You were always brilliant in the morning 
         Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee... 
[v.line] Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you, You loved Mozart 
         you'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar 
[v.line] You'd teach me of honest things... 
         Things that were daring, things that were clean... 
         Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean 
[v.line] So I hid my soiled hands behind my back, 
         Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you 
[v.line] Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else 
         Somebody who gave a damn, Somebody more like myself

[c.line] These foolish games are tearing me apart 
[c.line] Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart 
         You're breaking my heart
[intro.]
[Dm x 4]
[v.line] You took off your coat and stood in the rain 
         You were always like that

Tab: (note the guitar tuning... tune 5th and 6th strings up 1/2 step to
      Bb and F respectively.  This makes it considerably easier to play.)

It's a fun one once you have it - vary the picking during 
 the verses and/or chorus to give more feel to things.
