Lyrics:
I rode her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know Im being used
Thats okay man cause I like the abuse
I know shes playing with me
Thats okay cause I got no self esteem
Oh yeah
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low
She keeps it up I just might tell her so
Oh yeah
When she saying all that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she saying all that Im like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I could spend
Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
But I really think its better this way
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah
Now Ill relate this little bit
It happens more than Id like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no but,
Its kinda hard when shes ready to go
I may be dumb but Im not a dweeb
Im just a sucker with no self esteem

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar.
The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string
(usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string.
For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret).
Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
