Just trying to clean up the version we have:
(intro -- organ/hi-hat A-D-A-D)
(verse)
Life is Arich, but it's way too Dshort
You make a lot of Bmmoney, but you just want Dmore
I don't need the Apain, right here in my Dheart
But I hate every Bmminute when we're so far aDpart
A-D-A-D  
It was love in a Aminute, it was love in a Dflash
It brings me no plBmeasure, just a stab in the Dback
It brings me no Acomfort, it brings me no Dpeace
A weight on my shoBmulder, it's a fatal diseaDse
(chorus 1)
So F#mdon't Atear me Dup
BmI don't ever want to see your Dpicture again
And F#mdon't Apoison my Dblood
BmI don't ever want to see your Dface anymore
A-D-A-D  
Gonna finish it Aquick, gonna finish it Dclean
Don't wanna be Bmbitter, I don't wanna be Dmean
I feel like we're Adriving down a dead end Dstreet
I've cBmome so far I wanna crash the car, I wanna lDand right on my feet
(chorus 2)
I said F#mdon't Atear me Dup
BmI don't ever want to see your Dpicture again
I said F#mdon't Atear me Dup
BmI don't ever want to see your Dface anymore
(bridge)
EBut I Ddream of you Aconstantly, Bmyou'll be my angel of Dlight
EAnd in the Ddark rooms of Asleeplessness, Bmyou'll be my lover each Dnight...
[solo - A-D-A-D-A-D-A-D]
Life is a Abitch, it's way too Dshort
Unlike a poliBmtician it just can't be Dbought
Think about the Atenderness, and think about thDe craziness
And iBmf you ever wanna hate me come and stick a Dknife right in my chest
(repeat chorus 2)
I said F#mdon't Atear me Dup
BmI don't ever want to see your Dpicture again
I said F#mdon't Atear me Dup
BmI don't ever want to see your Dface anymore
(verse)
I said F#mdon't teAar me upD  
I said F#mdon't teAar me upD  
So don'F#mt poison Amy bloodD  
BmI don't ever want to see your Dpicture again
