Dont Tear Me Up

(intro -- organ/hi-hat A-D-A-D) 
 
 
 
(verse) 
 
A D 
 
Life is rich, but it‘s way too short 
 
 
 
Bm D 
 
You make a lot of money, but you just want more 
 
 
 
A D 
 
I don‘t need the pain, right here in my heart 
 
 
 
Bm D 
 
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 
 
A weight on my shoulder, it‘s a fatal disease 
 
 
 
(chorus 1) 
 
F#m A D (power chords, then down) 
 
So don‘t tear me up 
 
 
 
Bm D 
 
I don‘t ever want to see your picture again 
 
 
 
F#m A D (power chords, then down) 
 
And don‘t poison my blood 
 
 
 
Bm D 
 
I don‘t ever want to see your face anymore 
 
 
 
A-D-A-D (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) 
 
E D A Bm D 
 
But I dream of you constantly, you‘ll be my angel of light 
 
 
 
E D A Bm D 
 
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness, you‘ll be my lover each night... 
 
 
 
[solo - A-D-A-D-A-D-A-D] 
 
 
 
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
