Not something real so I'd rather keep wackin'

Why bother? It's gonna hurt me

It's gonna kill when you desert me

This happened to me twice before
F#mGA
It won't happen to me anymore
Verse 2DF#mGA

Maybe we could even get together
DF#mGA
Maybe you could break my heart next summer
ChorusDBmGA
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
DBmGA

It won't happen to me anymore
