The Science Of Selling Yourself Short by Less Than Jake
The Science Of Selling Yourself Short
[Verse]
F Am Dm
I've come to my senses,
C
That I've become senseless,
F Am Dm C
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
F Am Dm C
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
F Am Dm C
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
Dm Am Dm
So I sit and wait and wonder,
C Gm
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
F C
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,
[Chorus:]
F Dm C
I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
F Dm C
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
Dm F C
I'm so far gone,
Dm F C
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
F
I'm my own worst enemy
F Am Dm C
I could be an expert on co-dependency,
F Am Dm C
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
F Am Dm C
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
F Am Dm C
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
Dm Am Dm
So I sit and wait and wonder,
C Gm
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
F C
I'm so over-dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy.
[Chorus]
F Am
Let the meaning slip away
Dm C
Lost my faith in another day,
F Am
Self deprication seems okay,
Dm C
I never thought I'd make it anyway
[Chorus]
I'm my own worst enemy [x5]

Intro to fade
I've come to my senses that I've become senseless
I could give you lessons, how to ruin your friendships
And every last conviction, yeah I smoked them all away
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way
And so I sit and wait and wonder
Does anyone else feel like me?
Someone so tired of their routines
And disappearing self-esteems
I'll sing along, yeah with every emergency
Just sing along and I'm the king of catastrophes
I'm so far gone that deep down inside I think it's fine by me
I'm my own worst enemy
I could be an expert on co-dependency
And I could write the best book on underage tragedy
And I've been spending my time at the local liquor store
And I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor
And so I sit and wait and wonder
Does anyone else feel like me?
I'm so overdosed on apathy
And burnt out on sympathy
I'll sing along, yeah with every emergency
Just sing along and I'm the king of catastrophes
I'm so far gone that deep down inside I think it's fine by me
That I'm my own worst enemy
Let the meaning slip away
I lost my faith in another day
Self deprecation seems okay
I never thought I'd make it anyway
I'll sing along, yeah with every emergency
Just sing along and I'm the king of catastrophes
I'm so far gone that deep down inside I think it's fine by me
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy
That I'm my own worst enemy
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy
And I'm my own worst enemy
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy
And I'm my own worst enemy
'Cause I'm my own worst enemy

version 5
Tuning: Standard
Although this song sounds like it's got a lot going on, there's really not. It's
actually very basic. (Keep in mind that this band has horns as well as keyboard which
both at
times copy the guitar's rhythm sounding very similar to guitar when it's actually not
guitar while the guitar is doing something different)
