Standard Tuning, capo 2nd fret
Hints: try to mute your high E string when playing the Dsus2, and you can
can also alternate between G and G7.  The strum is kind of a quick shuffle
type thing.  The G's at the end of the chorus and the intro are played as a
slow strum, hit each string one at a time.  Same with the chords in the bridge
 
 
[Intro]
C F Dsus2 G
 
[Verse]
C            F                    Dsus2
You text at three in the morning
            G            C
And you misspell my name
                  F                          Dsus2
You've slept with half my friends on Facebook
            G                  C
And most of them think you are lame
             F                      Dsus2
You say that with me it's different
               G             C
And you're not that big of a dick
                F                            Dsus2
And if you disappear it's cause you're busy
                  G                 Am
Not 'cause you're with some other chick
 
[Pre-chorus]
            Em          Am
I know that this may be uncouth
              Em           G
But I want to tell you the truth
 
[Chorus]
C                    F
My self-esteem's not low enough to date you
Dsus2          G
It's close but not quite there
C                     F                    Dsus2
Give me time to get a little more desperate
                     G               C      F    Dsus2
Then you and I could make an awesome pair
  G                      C  F  Dsus2 G
A totally awesome pair
 
[Verse]
C           F                 Dsus2
I seem like your perfect target
               G              C
Like I've been lonely for too long
                        F              Dsus2
You think I haven't had sex in forever
          G                    C
And I'll admit that you're not wrong
             F                   Dsus2
But I would rather have no one
                G           C
Than this crap, let me reaffirm
                      F                      Dsus2
I wouldn't touch your dick if I'd been poisoned
            G                Am
And the antidote was in your sperm
 
[Pre-chorus]
             Em             Am
I know that this might be uncouth
                    Em           G
But I've decided to tell you the truth
 
[Chorus]
C                    F
My self-esteem's not low enough to date you
Dsus2          G
It's pretty close but not quite there
C                  F                    Dsus2
Give me time to get a little more wasted
                     G               C      F    Dsus2
Then you and I could make an awesome pair
  G                      C  F  Dsus2 G
A totally awesome pair
 
[Bridge]
Am            Em
We could last forever
         F               C
You just have to give me time
   Am                 C
To learn to deal with bullshit
     F      G
And blatant lies
        C          G
But for now... for now
 
[Chorus]
C                    F
My self-esteem's not low enough to date you
Dsus2          G
It's so close but not quite there
C                  F                    Dsus2
Need time to get a little more wasted
                     G               C      F    Dsus2
Then you and I could make an awesome pair
  G                      C  F  Dsus2 G
A totally awesome pair
