------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 (022100@1) F#m (244222@1) A (x02220@1) B|--0--| (x2444x@1) |--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 (022100@1) B (x2444x@1) ACan (x02220@1)we forget about the things I said when I was drunk, E (022100@1) B (x2444x@1)AI (x02220@1)didn't mean to call you that.

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
