C(add9)- - - D6- - -
C(add9)- - - D6- - -
C(add9)- - - D6- - -
C(add9)- - - D6- - -
C(add9)When I first saw you
Something D6stirred within me
You were C(add9)standing sultry in the D6rain
If C(add9)I could've held you
D6I would've held you
C(add9)Rip it up and start agD6ain
C(add9)Rip it up and start aD6gain
C(add9)Rip it up and start aD6gain
I Chope to God you're not as dumb as G/Dyou make out
I Chope to God
I Ghope to God
And I Chope to God I'm not as numb as G/Dyou make out
I Chope to God
I Ghope to God
(Instrumental section, one full bar per chord)
C(add9)- - - D6- - -
C(add9)- - - D6- - -
C(add9)And when I next saw you
My D6heart reached out for you
But my C(add9)arms stuck like glue to my D6sides
If C(add9)I could've held you
D6I would've held you
But I'd C(add9)choke rather than swallow my D6pride
C(add9)Rip it up and start D6again
C(add9)Rip it up and start D6again
I Chope to God you're not as dumb as G/Dyou make out
I Chope to God
I Ghope to God
And I Chope to God I'm not as numb as G/Dyou make out
I Chope to God
I Ghope to God
And there was C(add9)times I'd take my pen
And feel D6obliged to start again
I do proC(add9)fess that there are things in life
That D6one can't quite express
C(add9)You know me I'm acting D6dumb-dumb
C(add9)You know this scene is very D6humdrum
C(add9)And my favourite song's entitled D6'boredom'
(Instrumental with sax solo, one full bar per chord)

C(add9)Rip it up and start D6again
I said C(add9)rip it up and start aD6gain
I said C(add9)rip it up and start aD6gain
I said C(add9)rip it up and start aD6gain
C(add9)   D6  C(add9) D6  
I said rip it up and rip it up, rip it up and rip it up, rip it up and start again
