FOOLISH GAMES
Intro : Dm Bb F C (2x)
Dm Bb F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
C
You were always crazy like that
Dm Bb
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
Gm
Well in case you failed to notice,
Bb
In case you failed to see,
F
This is my heart bleeding before you,
C
This is me down on my knees
Bb C F Dm
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Bb C F Bb
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Dm
You're breaking my heart
Dm Bb
You were always brilliant in the morning
F C
Smoking your cigarettes, 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
Gm Bb
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
F
Somebody who gave a damn,
C
Somebody more like myself
Bb C F Dm
These foolish games are tearing me apart
Bb C F Bb
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Dm
You're breaking my heart
Dm Bb F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain
C
you were always crazy like that............{fade out}
Last of all in between the Chorus and the Verses you'd want to
add in a few strummings of the intros, how exactly? listen to the
track! So that'll be all for today, till then!!!!!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JEWEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
