Self Esteem Chords & Tabs
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 - C F Dsus2 G(stop)

You text at three in the morning

Not 'cause your with some other chick
Em Am
I know that this may be uncool
Em G
But I want to tell you the truth

Dsus2 G
It's close but not quite there
C F Dsus2
Need time to get a little more rejected

A totally awesome pair

Am Em
We could last forever

You just have to give me time

To learn to deal with bullshit
