verse:

 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 attraction
 E                 G#        A           B
  That's all there is so i'd better keep whackin'

 chorus: (play double on each chord)

 E    C#
  Why bother
 F#5/A       B
  It's gonna hurt me
 EE           C#        F#5/A   B
  It's gonna kill when you desert me
 A5/G#                A5
  This happened to me twice before
 F#                B  B/A
  Not gonna happen anymore

 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

 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? (why bother)
 It's gonna hurt me (it's gonna hurt me)
 It's gonna kill when you (why bother) desert me (it's gonna hurt me) 
 Why bother? (why bother) Its gonna hurt me (it's gonna hurt me)
 Why bother, it's gonna hurt me!!
