"Sick of Myself"
Chords by: Chris Bray (cbray@comp.uark.edu)
Additional help by: Jim Bradbury (jbradbury@macuser.ziff.com)
and Bradley T. Heim
Intro: [Play muffled strings a bit, then:] B F# E (x8)
{Continue B F# E progression}
You don't know how you move me
Deconstruct me
And consume me
I'm all used up
I'm out of luck
I am starstruck
B F# E B
By something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
E F#
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
B E
Something is beautiful and true
E F#
In a world that's ugly and a lie
B E
It's hard to even want to try
E F#
And I'm beginning to think Baby you don't know
{Continue B F# E progression}
I'll take or leave
The room to breathe
The choice to leave you
I'll throw away
A chance at greatness
Just to make this
B F# E B
Dream come into play, I don't know if I'll find a way
E F#
'Cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you
B E
Something is beautiful and true
E F#
In a world that's ugly and a lie
B E
It's hard to even want to try
E F# G#m
And I'm beginning to think Baby you don't know
E F#
I'm beginning to think Baby you don't know
SOLO [B F# E progression over solo]
B F# E B
There's something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
E F#
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
B E
Something is beautiful and true
E F#
In a world that's ugly and a lie
B E
It's hard to even want to try
E F#
And I'm beginning to think Baby you don't know
E F#
I'm beginning to think Baby you don't know
{Continue B F# E progression to end}.

| Great pop, but the lyrics provide the explanation why Sweet is as popular as his talent deserves - few people respect a grown man who acts like a shy, self-loathing adolescent girl! | |

| This is catchiest damn song ever. It makes me bob my head forward. Matthew Sweet is the supreme deity of power pop. | |

| Man, 10 years ago this song would've probably had about 3,000 comments. This is another lost treasure of the 90's | |

| I love this song. Who here hasn't had a crush on somebody so bad that the person literally made you sick of yourself? It's so universal I'm surprised it wasn't written decades before... | |

| I think he might have written this about a celebrity. After Girlfriend I guess he was a quasi-celebrity, he might have met someone a lot more famous, and I think this song was about her. | |
