  I can't claim credit for figuring this song out.  My friend, who makes me 

  sick, just sat down while this was playing at my house, grabbed my guitar 

  and figured it out.

  

  uhhhhh forget that top line up there/

                                      | i kinda messed up the tab..oh well

  Enjoy

             "Self Esteem" by The Offspring (from the album _Smash_)

  

  (intro: a cappella)

  La la, la-la-la, laa la la, la-la-la laa

  

  (Verse 1:)

  I wrote her off for the tenth time today

  Practiced all of the things I would say

  (When) she came over, I lost my nerve:

  I took her back and made her desert

  

  I-I know, I'm being used

  That's OK, man, 'cause I like the abuse

  I-I know, she's playing with me

  That's OK 'cause I got no self esteem

  

  (Pre-chorus  -- if you can call it that!)

  Oh-h wa-ay, yeah, oh-ho-ho...(etc)...yeah!   

  

  (Verse 2:)

  We make plans (to) go out at night

  I wait 'till two, then I turn out the light

  This rejection's got me so low

  She keeps it up I just might tell her so

  

  (Pre-chorus)

  

  (Chorus:)

  When she says, oh, that she wants only me

  Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

  When she says, oh, that I'm like a disease

  Then I wonder how much more I can stand

  

  Well I guess, I should speak up for myself

  But I really think it's better this way:

  The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care--

  Right??

  Yeah-ha-ha

  

  (Verse 3:)

  While I relate this little bit,

  (It) Happens more than I like to admit

  Late at night, she knocks on my door

  She's drunk again and lookin' to score

  

  I-I know, I should say no, but

  It's kinda hard when she's ready to go

  I may be dumb; I'm not a dweeb

  I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

  

  (Pre-chorus, 2X)

  

  (Chorus)

  

                                              -- Mike
