Verse 1:
Eb Gm                 Ab     Bb
 I know I should get next to you
Eb          Gm        Ab       Bb
 You got a look that makes me think you're cool
Eb    Gm        Ab       Bb
 But it's just xxxxxx attraction
Eb             Gm           Ab          Bb

 Why bother? It's gonna hurt me

Eb     Gm             Ab    Bb
 I've known a lot of girls before
Eb          Gm       Ab      Bb
 What's the harm in knowin' one more?
Eb    Gm             Ab     Bb
 Maybe we could even get together
Eb     Gm                  Ab         Bb
 Maybe you could break my heart next summer
