Aerosmith – Don’t Tear Me Up

Intro: organ/hi-hat A - D - A - D

Verse:
A D
Life is rich, but it's way too short
Bm D
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
A D
I don't need the pain, right here in my heart
Bm D
But I hate every minute when we're so far apart

A - D - A - D

Verse:
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:
F#m A D (power chords, then down)
So don't tear me up
Bm D
I don't ever want to see your picture again
F#m A D (power chords, then down)
And don't poison my blood
Bm D
I don't ever want to see your face anymore

A - D - A - D (piano aaaa)

Verse:
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:
E D A Bm D
But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light
E D A Bm D
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

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
