[Verse 1]
E G#               A       B
I know I should get next to you
E         G#       A             B
You got a look that makes me think you're cool
E      G#       A       B
But it's just sexual attraction
E             G#         A           B
Not somethin' real so I'd rather keep wackin'
[Chorus]
E   A      F#m         B
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
E          A         F#m   B
It's gonna kill when you desert me
G#                  A
This happened to me twice before
B                     E     B
It won't happen to me anymore
[Verse 2]
E    G#             A       B
I've known a lot of girls before
E          G#      A          B
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
E     G#            A     B
Maybe we could even get together
E     G#                 A          B
Maybe you could break my heart next summer
[Chorus]
E   A      F#m         B
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
E          A         F#m   B
It's gonna kill when you desert me
G#                  A
This happened to me twice before
B                     E  B
It won't happen to me anymore

[Verse 3]
E      G#               A     B
It's a cryin' shame I'm all alone
E        G#           A       B
Not with you, nor her, nor anyone
E         G#            A   B
Won't you knock me on my head
E        G#           A      B
Crack it open, let me outta here
[Chorus]
E   A      F#m         B
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
E          A         F#m   B
It's gonna kill when you desert me
G#                  A
This happened to me twice before
B                     E  B
It won't happen to me anymore
[Outro]
E   A      F#m         B
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
A   E      F#m         B
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
E   A      F#m         B
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
E   E      A       B         E
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
