C(add9)When I first saw you
          D6Something stirred within me
         C(add9)                D6You were standing sultry in the rain
   C(add9)If I could've held you
D6I would've held you
C(add9)               D6Rip it up and start again

C(add9)              D6Rip it up and start again
C(add9)              D6Rip it up and start again
  C                                 G/DI hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
  CI hope to God
  GI hope to God
      C                              G/D  And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
  CI hope to God
  GI hope to God

C(add9)And when I next saw you
   D6My heart reached out for you
       C(add9)                    D6But my arms stuck like glue to my sides
   C(add9)If I could've held you
D6I would've held you
        C(add9)                      D6But I'd choke rather than swallow my pride

C(add9)             D6Rip it up and start again
C(add9)             D6Rip it up and start again

  C                                 G/DI hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
  CI hope to God
  GI hope to God
      C                              G/DAnd I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
  CI hope to God
  GI hope to God

              C(add9)And there was times I'd take my pen
         D6And feel obliged to start again
        C(add9)             I do profess that there are things in life
     D6That one can't quite express
C(add9)                D6You know me I'm acting dumb-dumb
C(add9)                     D6You know this scene is very humdrum
C(add9)                          D6And my favourite song's entitled 'boredom'
