(intro -- organ/hi-hat F-B-F-B)



(verse)

F B

Life is rich, but it's way too short



g B

You make a lot of money, but you just want more



F B

I don't need the pain, right here in my heart



g B

But I hate every minute when we're so far apart



F-B-F-B



(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)

cis F B (power chords, then down)

So don't tear me up



g B

I don't ever want to see your picture again



cis F B (power chords, then down)

And don't poison my blood



g B

I don't ever want to see your face anymore



F-B-F-B (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)

F B F g B

But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light



F B F g B

And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness, you'll be my lover each night...



[solo - F-B-F-B-F-B-F-B]



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
