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.

Still burning, please tell me

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!
