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.

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

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!
