| E | G# | A | B | |
| I | know i should get | next to | you |
| E | G# | A | B | |
| You've got a | look that | made me | think you're cool |
| E | G# | A | B | |
| But | it's just | sexual at | traction |
| E | G# | A | B | |
| That's all there | is so i'd | better keep | whackin' |
| chorus: |
| E | C# | |
| Why | bother |
| F#5/A | B | |
| It's gonna | hurt me |
| E | C# | F#5/A | B | |
| It's gonna | kill when | you des | ert me |
| A5/G# | A5 | |
| This happened to me | twice before |
| F# | B | B/A | |
| Not gonna happen | any | more |
| verse |
| I've known a lotta girls before |
| What's the harm in knowing one more? |
| Maybe we could even get together |
| Maybe you could break my heart next summer |
| chorus |
| Why bother? |
| It's gonna hurt me |
| It's gonna kill when you desert me |
| This happened to me twice before |
| Won't happen to me anymore |
| solo: E minor pentatonic and major pentatonic over verse chords. |
| verse |
| It's a crying shame i'm all alone |
| Not with you - nor her - nor anyone |
| Won't deny me of my head |
| Crack it open and then i would share |
| chorus |
| Why bother? |
| It's gonna hurt me |
| It's gonna kill when you desert me |
| This happened to me twice before |
| Won't happen to me anymore |
