Song

Just trying to clean up the version we have:
(intro -- organ/hi-hat A-D-A-D)
(verse)
Life is rich, but it's way too short
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
I don't need the pain, right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when we're so far apart
A-D-A-D
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)
So don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your picture again
And don't poison my blood
I don't ever want to see your face anymore
A-D-A-D
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)
But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness, you'll be my lover each night...

solo - A-D-A-D-A-D-A-D

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)
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
(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
