[Verse 1]

BThey never told you at school
They never told you Banything
That would be any Eused to you
Not Bnow
Like how to be Bfair
BOr how to behave with someone
Or how to get by when your Ememories
All hurt so Bmuch
[Chorus 1]
If you Edidn't want this pain
You Eshouldn't fall in love
You Bknew the risk
You Btook the chance
You Blet it happen
If Eyou don't want this pain
You shouldn't ever Efall in love Bagain
[Verse 2]
And all of your Bfriends
They said B"go on son, get in there
You've got Enothing to lose
At Ball
They never said how you'd Bpay
For every kiss with a Byear of regret
Or how you'd be left with a Ebody
That remembers everyBthing
[Chorus 2]
If Eyou don't want this pain
You Eshouldn't fall in love
You Bknew the risk

You Blet it happen, you let it happen
If Eyou don't want this pain
You shouldn't ever Efall in love Cmagain

Not sure about the A7sus2 bit, maybe a offhandedly A5 sounds closest to the song?

[Verse 1]

They never told you at school

They never told you anything

That would be any used to you

Not now

Like how to be fair

Or how to behave with someone

Or how to get by when your memories

All hurt so much

[Chorus 1]

If you didn't want this pain

You shouldn't fall in love

You knew the risk

You took the chance

You let it happen

If you don't want this pain

E B

You shouldn't ever fall in love again

[Verse 2]

And all of your friends

They said "go on son, get in there

You've got nothing to lose

At all

They never said how you'd pay

For every kiss with a year of regret

Or how you'd be left with a body

That remembers everything

[Chorus 2]

If you don't want this pain

You shouldn't fall in love

You knew the risk

You took the chance

You let it happen, you let it happen

If you don't want this pain

E Cm

You shouldn't ever fall in love again

[Bridge]

G# Eb

And even at The Flaming Lips

You were jealous

Of some little miss

Who meant nothing at all

If Bergman hasn't solved it

Woody Allen hasn't solved it

A7sus2

Then what chance have you got?

[Chorus 3]

If you don't want this pain

You shouldn't fall in love

You knew the risk

You took the chance

You let it hap pen, you let it happen

If you don't want this pain

D A

You shouldn't ever fall in love again

If you don't want this pain

You shouldn't fall in love

You knew the risk

You took the chance

You let it happen, you let it happen

If you don't want this pain

F#m

You shouldn't ever fall in love again

Not again

[Outro] (Fade out)
