Self Inflicted Katy Perry
Self-Infected by Katy Perry
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okey, first of all. This is my version of the song (made acoustic / easier)
and perhaps it dosenīt match at 100% of the original. However itīs a
great song and the versions of it i found on the internet was a bit too
bright for my voice to keep up with, so i made a tab myself. The only
thing that could be tricky is the pre-chorus, it can take some time to get
the rythm right there, however the song is otherwise pretty easy.
Feel free to mail me forcorrections etc at: ola_1376@hotmail.com.
Enjoy :D

Chords used:
Bm: 2 2 4 4 3 2 D: 0 0 0 2 3 2 Dsus4: 0 0 0 2 3 3

C+ is in this case a normal C chord but with the G note added on the thin
E string. Just to spice things up a little bit. Like this: 0 3 2 0 1 3
For soloing or riff / fill-making i suggest the G-major scale.
Standard tuning ( E A D G B e) Capo on 2nd or 3rd fret, I got it on 3rd.
Verse:
[G]Remember when I dove into the g[Em]round
And I[C] got a bloody knee un[G]der my skin
A scar from wiping o[Em]ut
It b[C]rings back the memori[C+]es
Pre-chours:
[Em7]Every bone?s b[Cadd9]een broken
But m[D]y heart is [Dsus4]still wide open
Chorus:
[G]I can?t stop, [D]don?t care if I l[Em]ose
Baby, y[Bm]ou are the weapon I [C]choose
These wounds are se[D]lf-inflicted
And [G]I?m going do[D]wn in flames for yo[Em]u
Baby, y[Bm]ou are the weapon I cho[C]ose
These wounds are se[D]lf-inflicted[C]
One more thing I?[D]m addicted to[G]
(play verse)
With each scar there?s a map that tells a story
What a souvenir of young love?s like
Jumpin out an airplane right in a tidal wave of
(play pre-chorus)
An ocean
Of emotion
My heart rips me wide open
Chorus
Bridge:
And [Em]I, cover up these sc[G]ars
(we make up, then we break up*)
And [Em]I, cant stop seeing st[G]ars
(I?m so knocked out whenever you?re around*)[D]
Chorus (play two times)
Outro:
Play the chorus over and over, and just go with the song like:
?Ooh i canīt stop, no i canīt stop?
End on G and fade out if possible
