Self Esteem Tab

by Garfunkel And Oates


Standard Tuning, capo 2nd fret

hints: try to mute your high E string when playing the Dsus2, and you can
can also alternate between G and G7.  The strum is kind of a quick shuffle
type thing.  The G's at the end of the chorus and the intro are played as a
 slow strum, hit each string one at a time.  Same with the chords in the bridge

Intro -    (stop)

                                
You text at three in the morning 
                        
And you misspell my name
                                         
You slept with half my friends on Facebook
                              
And most of them think you are lame
                                   
You say that with me it's different
                          
And your not that big of a dick
                                          
When you disappear it's cause you're busy
                                 
Not 'cause your with some other chick

                      
I know that this may be uncool
                         
But I want to tell you the truth


Chorus
                    
My self-esteem's not low enough to date you
          
It's close but not quite there
                                      
Need time to get a little more rejected
                                              
Then you and I could make an awesome pair
                             (stop)
A totally awesome pair

                            
I seem like your perfect target
                             
Like I've been lonely for too long
                                      
You think I haven't had sex in forever
                              
And I'll admit that you're not wrong
                                
But I would rather have nothing
                           
Than this crap, let me reaffirm
                                            
I wouldn't touch your dick if I was poisoned
                            
And the antidote was in your sperm

                        
I know that this may be uncool
                         
But I want to tell you the truth


                    
My self-esteem's not low enough to date you
          
It's pretty close but not quite there
                                      
Need time to get a little more desperate
                                              
Then you and I could make an awesome pair
                             (stop)
A totally awesome pair


Bridge

            
We could last forever
                        
You just have to give me time
                    
To learn to deal with bullshit
           
And blatant lies
                  
But for now... for now


                    
My self-esteem's not low enough to date you
          
It's so close but not quite there
                                      
Need time to get a little more wasted
                                              
Then you and I could make an awesome pair
                             (stop)
A totally awesome pair
