B
B
They never told you at school
                    B
They never told you anything
                  E
That would be any used to you
    B
Not now
               B
Like how to be fair
B
Or how to behave with someone
                           E
Or how to get by when your memories
            B
All hurt so much

[Chorus 1]
       E
If you didn't want this pain
    E
You shouldn't fall in love
    B
You knew the risk
    B
You took the chance
    B
You let it happen
   E
If you don't want this pain
                   E            B
You shouldn't ever fall in love again

[Verse 2]
                B
And all of your friends
          B
They said "go on son, get in there
           E
You've got nothing to lose
   B
At all
                          B
They never said how you'd pay
                      B
For every kiss with a year of regret
                            E
Or how you'd be left with a body
                    B
That remembers everything

[Chorus 2]
   E
If you don't want this pain
    E
You shouldn't fall in love
    B
You knew the risk
    B
You took the chance
    B
You let it happen, you let it happen
   E
If you don't want this pain
                   E            Cm
You shouldn't ever fall in love again

[Bridge]
    G#          Eb
And even at The Flaming Lips
         Bb
You were jealous
        Cm
Of some little miss
                     G#
Who meant nothing at all
   Eb
If Bergman hasn't solved it
      Bb
Woody Allen hasn't solved it
     A7sus2
Then what chance have you got?

[Chorus 3]
   D
If you don't want this pain
    D
You shouldn't fall in love
    A
You knew the risk
    A
You took the chance
    A
You let it hap pen, you let it happen
   D
If you don't want this pain
    D                           A
You shouldn't ever fall in love again
   D
If you don't want this pain
    D
You shouldn't fall in love
    A
You knew the risk
    A
You took the chance
    A
You let it happen, you let it happen
   D
If you don't want this pain
                                F#m
You shouldn't ever fall in love again
     D
Not again
