[Bm11/A]Pick your poison, [Bm]call your burdens
[Bm11/A]Pick your poison, [Bm]ignore your purpose

[G]This is the same [F#]old song and dance
[Bm]Crying out, give [D]me another chance
[F#]It's pretty hard for [Bm]me to learn my lesson
[Bm11/A]When I push the [Bm]limits 'til I'm barely breathing
[Bm11/A]Pick your poison, [Bm]call your burdens

auto_awesome

Pick Your Poison by Beartooth is played in the key of Bm. Arranged in the natural sounding key of Bm in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'Pick Your Poison' by Beartooth utilizes direct fretboard shapes to project full open-string acoustic warmth and resonance throughout every section. The tricky Bm barre can be effortlessly simplified using an open Bm7 (x20202) shape, removing the need for five-string index finger pressure across the second fret while maintaining clean note clarity. Moving smoothly between Bm and Bm11/A demands finger discipline: lead with your ring finger toward the target fret as an anchor before locking down the remaining fingers firmly on the strings. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
