Rip the Heart out of Yesterday (words & music by Chris Stanley)

(verse 1)
C     Em                       C               D
She said she’d never look back
C     Em                       C                D
She took my heart and my jacket
C     Em              C                D
Now she lives out in Boulder
Em   C       D                      Em
Oh-oh and I don’t know where

(verse 2)
C     Em                     C               D
We spent our summers abroad
C     Em                     C                    D
Spent our first Christmas in New York
C     Em                     C                 D
Now she’s with someone else
Em       C  D
But oh-oh I can’t let go

(chorus)
                           D                Em          C             Em
I want to tear out the guts
                   G                 C       D
And rip the heart out of yesterday
                           D                Em          C             Em
I want to tear out the guts
                               G                 C       D
And rip the heart out of yesterday

(melody)
D             Em          C                        D
D             Em          C   C/B   C/A        G

(verse 3)
I know some folks have it easy
Change their hearts with the seasons
I hear she’s still got my jacket
And oh-oh I want it back

(chorus)
I want to tear out the guts
And rip the heart out of yesterday
I want to tear out the guts
And rip the heart out of yesterday

(melody)

(instrumental - as verse)

(middle – as chorus)
And if I see  you again
I wouldn’t know what to say
I’d want to hurt you for everything, everything you did
I’d want to leave you for dead
But as I’m walking away
I’d think of all that we had
Was it really a lie?
C                     G                       C           G
I just can’t believe it believe it believe it
C                     G                       C           G
I just can’t believe it believe it believe it
C                     G                       C           G
I just can’t believe it believe it believe it
C                     G                       C           G
I just can’t believe it believe it believe it

(chorus)
I want to tear out the guts
And rip the heart out of yesterday
I want to tear out the guts
And rip the heart out of yesterday

(melody)
