[Intro]
Am C F E


[Verse 1]
Am           C
Badly beaten self
 esteem
F
has got me
   E
needing you
Am       C
Call you daily
just
 to bath
F            E
Am          C
Lately I've been
feeling
   F
maybe you've
found
E
someone new
Am         C
Like a dog I'm
dragged
 F
along your
    E
loveless leash
Am        C
Guess I'm good
 enough to
F
be the one you
E
call on lonely
Am
nights
       C
But as soon as
someone
F
better comes you
E              Am
push me to the side
        C
Say you love me to
F
spit
            E
right in my face
    Am       C
But whose to blame,
I'm the one that
sits and waits

[Chorus]
         Am
'Cause I love
    F
you like
         C
I wish I love
myself
Am         F
Trust is a word I
C
won't use
    Am         F
You left me on read
 just to
C
toy with my head
              Am
And still you call me
      F      C
 when you've been
       Am F C   Am F C
abused

[Verse 2]
Am      C
Pick me up to
 pull
F
you out of
    E
any hole you're
 in
Am     C
Cry to me,
     F
apologize and
            E
lie through tears
Am       C
A self respecting
 soul
      F    ay
     E
from hopelessness
Am
But hope is
C
somethin'
       F
I hold onto
     E
more than fear
Am     C
I fear losing you
but
F
really you've been
 E              Am
 lost before we met
            C
And I would cut it
off if
F
I could find the
E                Am
will to block ya texts
         C
Leave me please
  F
I can't
            E
be dragged along
    Am     C
But Friday nights
 I'll
   F
be sitting by
    E
the phone

[Chorus]
         Am
'Cause I love you
F
like I wish I
C
love myself
Am         F
Trust is a word I
C
won't use
    Am         F
You left me on read
just to
C
toy with my head
              Am
And still you call
        F      C
me when you've been
       Am F C   Am F C
abused


[Chorus]
         Am
'Cause I love you
F
like I wish I
C
love myself
Am         F
Trust is a word I
C
won't use
    Am
You left me on
F
read just to
C
toy with my head
And still you
Am
call me when
F      C
you've been abused
         Am
'Cause I love you
 F
 like I wish I
C
love myself (Love
myself)
Am         F
Trust is a word
  C
I won't
 use (I won't use)
    Am
You left me on

How to play Love Myself: key, chords and progression

Love Myself by Cameron Whitcomb is in the key of A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: Am, C, F and E.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – F – C – Am (i – VI – III – i in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F is the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele it is simpler.
