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


C                        D
Rip it up and start again
C                        D
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 D C D


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


C                        D
Rip it up and start again
C                        D
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 D C D x2


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


C D C D x4

C                        D
Rip it up and start again
C                               D
I said rip it up and start again
C                               D
I said rip it up and start again
C                               D
I said rip it up and start again
       C                           D                           C                        D            
I said rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and start again
