My Own Worst Enemy by Lit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY OWN WORST ENEMY (CHORDS) - Lit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard If you want to play and sing this song on acoustic, this is what I would suggest. I strum as follows during the verses. This is just a guideline. You'll want to change strumming pattern for the chorus. Work with timing by listening to song and playing what's comfortable for you. E----------------------------------------------------------------| B A down - down - down.up.down.down - down.up.down.down - down.up.down.down.down E F#m A B |--0--| |--2--| |--0--| |--2--| |--0--| |--2--| |--2--| |--3--| |--1--| |--2--| |--2--| |--3--| |--2--| |--4--| |--2--| |--3--| |--2--| |--4--| |--0--| |--2--| |--0--| |--2--| |--x--| |--x--| Verse 1 E B A Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk, E B A I didn't mean to call you that. E B A I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me E B A Please tell me, please tell me (Chorus: change up strumming) E F#m whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy A B E F#m My car is in the front yard, and I'm, sleeping with my clothes on, A B I came in through the window, last night, E B A and your, gone, gone. Verse 2 E B A It's no suprise to me I am my own worst enemy, E B A 'Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me E B A The smoke alarm is going off and there's a cigarette, E B A Still burning, please tell me (Chorus: change up strumming) E F#m whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy A B E F#m My car is in the front yard, and I'm, sleeping with my clothes on, A B I came in through the window, last night, E B A and your, gone, gone. [ E - A.B ] Verse Rhythm: Repeat (this is where the solo is played) E F#m whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy A B E F#m My car is in the front yard, and I'm, sleeping with my clothes on, A B I came in through the window, last night, E F#m It's no suprise to me I am my own worst enemy A B 'Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me E F#m Can we forget about the things I said When I was drunk A B I didn't mean to call you that Outro: Verse strum pattern E - B - A x4 (hold last note. Feel free to finish off with one more E) This is really a simple song as far as the music goes. Timing the strumming and singing simultaneously is the hardest part to get the hang of. Have fun with this one! -Blake www.TAB6.com
