The chords/lyrics are from this version of the song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0frM_1VQ1tQ
For this particular version they play with capo on 1st,
but depending on the version it can be played with capo on 2nd
or with no capo like on their new album "Secretions".
The chords between { } you strum each strings separately.
The chords between ( ) you only strum once.
For these parts in the chorus:
[It’s/ [ rejected/
It’s/ desperate/
So] wasted]
First time, you play the first line, second time...
Thanks to raw_sugar80, I started from his version.

Garfunkel and Oates - Self Esteem
Intro: C F Dsus2 { G }
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
{Prechorus:
Em Am
I know that this might be uncouth
Em G ( 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/ close, but not quite there
It’s/
So]
C F Dsus2
Give me time to get a little more [ rejected/
desperate/
wasted]
G C F Dsus2
And you and I can make an awesome pair
G C F Dsus2 { G }
A totally awesome pair]
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
[Prechorus + Chorus]
Bridge:
F C
Thanks for not even pretending to respect me
F C
Or slightly acknowledging how mean this is
F ( C G C )
Cause what’s easy to find is a loving relationship
G G G G
What’s hard for a girl like me to find is penises
( G )
Especially when I’m on the road
( G )
Or anywhere, really
( G )
Cause I’m a girl, hello
( G )
That’s kind of how it goes
F C
Love is illusive and impossible
F C
But dicks are available everywhere
F ( C G C )
So sorry if I don’t feel super lucky
G G G
To get a penis likes yours attached to a man who can’t
G
even pretend to care
( G )
Maybe if something goes horribly awry
( G )
And I think I'll never find a better guy
( G G )
But for now
G G
For now
[Chorus]
If you want to play like the ukulele on your guitar,
put a capo on 5th, transpose to -5
and play only the 4 highest-pitched strings.
So the chords would be:
Guitar= Ukulele (on the guitar with capo on 5th)
C = G (xx0003)
F = C (xx2010)
Dsus2 = Asus2 (xx2200)
G = D (xx0232)
Am = Em (xx2000)
Em = Bm (xx0432) or (xx4432)
If you think something is not right, say it in the comments,
but please don't be to harsh, it's my first chords sheet.
