Intro: organ/hi-hat - - -
Verse:
Life is rich, but it's way too short
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
I don't need the pain, right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when we're so far apart
[A] - [D] - [A] - [D]
Verse:
It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash
It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back
It brings me no comfort, it brings me no peace
weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal disease
Chorus 1:
(power chords, then down)
So don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your picture again
(power chords, then down)
And don't poison my blood
I don't ever want to see your face anymore
- - - (piano aaaa)
Verse:
Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean
Don't wanna be bitter, I don't wanna be mean
I feel like we're driving down a dead end street
I've come so far I wanna crash the car,
I wanna land right on my feet
Chorus 2:
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your face anymore
Bridge:
But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness,
you'll be my lover each night...
Solo:
Life is a bitch, it's way too short
Unlike a politician it just can't be bought
Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness
And if you ever wanna hate me come
and stick a knife right in my chest
Repeat chorus 2
Verse:
I said don't tear me up
I said don't tear me up
So don't poison my blood
I don't ever want to see your picture again
