C(add9)
When I first saw you
          D6
Something stirred within me
         C(add9)                D6
You were standing sultry in the rain
   C(add9)
If I could've held you
D6
I would've held you
C(add9)               D6
Rip it up and start again

C(add9)              D6
Rip it up and start again
C(add9)              D6
Rip it up and start again
  C                                 G/D
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
  C
I hope to God
  G
I hope to God
      C                              G/D  
And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out

I hope to God

C(add9)
And when I next saw you
   D6
My heart reached out for you
       C(add9)                    D6
But my arms stuck like glue to my sides
   C(add9)
If I could've held you
D6
I would've held you
        C(add9)                      D6
But I'd choke rather than swallow my pride

C(add9)             D6
Rip it up and start again
C(add9)             D6
Rip it up and start again

  C                                 G/D
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
  C
I hope to God
  G
I hope to God
      C                              G/D
And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
  C
I hope to God
  G
I hope to God

              C(add9)
And there was times I'd take my pen
         D6
And feel obliged to start again
        C(add9)             
I do profess that there are things in life
     D6
That one can't quite express
C(add9)                D6
You know me I'm acting dumb-dumb
C(add9)                     D6
You know this scene is very humdrum
C(add9)                          D6
And my favourite song's entitled 'boredom'

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