from their album, "Pinkerton" (Capo 1)
[Intro] F#m
[Verse 1]
D F#m G A
I know I should get next to you
D F#m G A
You got a look that makes me think you're cool
D F#m G A
But it's just sexual attraction
D F#m G A
Not something real so I'd rather keep wackin'
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
D Bm G A
It's gonna kill when you desert me
F#m G
This happened to me twice before
F#m G A
It won't happen to me anymore
[Verse 2]
D F#m G A
I've known a lot of girls before
D F#m G A
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
D F#m G A
Maybe we could even get together
D F#m G A
Maybe you could break my heart next summer
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
D Bm G A
It's gonna kill when you desert me
F#m G
This happened to me twice before
F#m G A
It won't happen to me anymore
[Solo]
D Bm G A x2
F#m G
F#m G A
[Verse 3]
D F#m G A
It's a cryin' shame I'm all alone
D F#m G A
Not with you, nor her, nor anyone
D F#m G A
Won't you knock me on my head
D F#m G A
Crack it open let me outta here
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
D Bm G A
It's gonna kill when you desert me
F#m G
This happened to me twice before
F#m G A
It won't happen to me anymore
