D F#m G A
I know I should get next to you

You got a look that makes me think you're cool

Not something real so I'd rather keep wackin'

Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
D Bm G A
It's gonna kill when you desert me

This happened to me twice before

It won't happen to me anymore

Maybe you could break my heart next summer

Crack it open let me outta here
