# NOTE: this is, basically, a piano tune transcribed for acoustic guitar. NOTE: a tab already available on the web, done by Wilson Miner 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. song: Foolish Games artist: Jewel Kilcher from: the CD 'Pieces of You', track 4. 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 [repeat intro and fade...] 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.)
