C(add9)
When I first saw you
     D6D6
Something stirred within me
     C(add9)        D6D6
You were standing sultry in the rain
  C(add9)
If I could've held you
D6D6
I would've held you
C(add9)        D6D6
Rip it up and start again

C(add9)       D6D6
Rip it up and start again
C(add9)       D6D6
Rip it up and start again
 C majorC                 G/DG/D
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
 C majorC
I hope to God
 G+G
I hope to God
   C majorC               G/DG/D
And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out

I hope to God
 G+G
I hope to God

C(add9)
And when I next saw you
  D6D6
My heart reached out for you
    C(add9)          D6D6
But my arms stuck like glue to my sides
  C(add9)
If I could've held you
D6D6
I would've held you
    C(add9)           D6D6
But I'd choke rather than swallow my pride

C(add9)       D6D6
Rip it up and start again
C(add9)       D6D6
Rip it up and start again
 C majorC                 G/DG/D
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
 C majorC
I hope to God
 G+G
I hope to God
   C majorC               G/DG/D
And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
 C majorC
I hope to God
 G+G
I hope to God

       C(add9)
And there was times I'd take my pen
     D6D6
And feel obliged to start again
    C(add9)
I do profess that there are things in life
   D6D6
That one can't quite express
C(add9)        D6D6
You know me I'm acting dumb-dumb
C(add9)           D6D6
You know this scene is very humdrum
C(add9)             D6D6
And my favourite song's entitled 'boredom'

(Instrumental with sax solo, one full bar per chord)

C(add9)       D6D6
Rip it up and start again
    C(add9)       D6D6
I said rip it up and start again
    C(add9)       D6D6
I said rip it up and start again
    C(add9)       D6D6
I said rip it up and start again
    C(add9)         D6D6            C(add9)       D6D6
I said rip it up and rip it up, rip it up and rip it up, rip it up and start again
