  Am
Tonight we're fading fast
        F
I just wanna make this last
           Am
If I could say the things I want to say,
I'd find a way to make you stay
    F
I'd never let you get away
Get you in all the games we play
G
So go ahead rip, my heart out,
Am
Show me what love's all about
F
Go ahead rip, my heart out
That's what love's all about

Chorus:
C
I want you to want me this way,
G
And I need you to need me to stay
Am
If you say that you don't feel a thing
F                          C
If you don't know, let me go,
        Em        Am          F
Let me go, let me go, let me go
If you don't know then just let me go

Let's forget the past
I swear we'll make this last
'Cause I remember the taste of your skin tonight
And the way that you looked, you had those eyes
I remember the way it felt inside
And the name of the songs that made you cry
You would scream, we would fight, you would call me crazy
I would laugh, you were mad, but you'd always kiss me
And the shirt that I had that you always borrowed
When I woke, it was gone, there was no tomorrow

Chorus

Am
Go ahead, rip my heart out,
         G
If you think that's what love's all about
F
Go ahead, rip my heart out
Go ahead, rip my heart out
Am
Go ahead, rip my heart out
         G
If you think that's what love's all about
F
Go ahead, rip my heart out
Go ahead, rip my heart out

Chorus
