The Offspring – Self Esteem  (Album: Smash (1994))

A5              F5      C5         G5

I wrote her off for the tenth time today

And practiced all the things I would say

But she came over I lost my nerve

I took her back and made her dessert

Oh I know I’m being used

That’s okay man cause I like the abuse

Oh I know she’s playing with me

That’s okay cause I’ve got no self esteem  [chorus:  YA]

We make plans to go out at night

I wait till 2 then I turn out the light

This rejection’s got me so low

If she keeps it up I just might tell her so  [chorus:  YA]

D5         Bb5     F5            C5       

When she’s saying, oh, that she wants only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she’s saying, oh, that I’m like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it’s better this way

             Bb5             C5          G5               F5

The more you suffer      The more it shows you really care

         G5  C5/G  G5  C5/G

Right? Yeah-eh-eh

Now I’ll relate this little bit

That happens more than I’d like to admit

Late at night she knocks on my door

She’s drunk again and looking to score

Oh I know I should say no but

It’s kind of hard when she’s ready to go

I may be dumb, but I’m not a dweeb

I’m just a sucker with no self esteem  [chorus:  YA]
