F                     Fm
I’m not the same as I used to be.
Eb
All the things you’ve heard,
      Bb
Seem hard to believe
Em7                   A7    Dm                Dm/C
Haven’t always been good, never really been bad.
Bb                     F/A            Gm7     Gm7/Bb    C
Most times, I’ve been happy.  Yet, sometimes I’ve been sad.

[Verse 2]
F
Sure, I’ve made mistakes.
Fm
Haven’t we all?
Eb                            Bb
I been loose as a cannon and dumb as a wall.
Em7                    A7    Dm              Dm/C
Haven’t always been sober, and counted my ducks.
 Bb            F/A         Gm7    Gm7/Bb    C
And, if I look back now, I had my share of luck,

[Chorus]
          Dm           Dm/C     Bb
But, the change didn’t come overnight.
           F            A           Dm  Dm/C
I’ve been searching for you all my life.
         Bb                      F
All the habits that I couldn’t handle.
            G7 Bb      C
I swept them under the rug.
     C#              Fm/C        Bbm
In exchange for the sweetest addiction,
C                Fm
You: my elusive drug.

[Verse 3]
F
I’m gonna stay now.
Fm
I really like it here.
Eb                      Bb
I may paint your picture, and I might grow a beard.
Em7                      A7   Dm                 Dm/C
There were times I was crazy, couldn’t handle my life.
Bb                 F/A      Gm7     Gm7/Bb   C     A/C#
Don’t think you’ll like me, not at any old price.

[Chorus]
          Dm           Dm/C     Bb
But, the change didn’t come overnight.
           F            A           Dm  Dm/C
I’ve been searching for you all my life.
         Bb                      F
All the habits that I couldn’t handle.
            G7 Bb      C
I swept them under the rug.
     C#              Fm/C        Bbm
In exchange for the sweetest addiction,
C                Fm   Fm/Eb
You: my elusive drug.

[Bridge]
Db                   Eb
Now, I’ve taken the pills.
       Ab            Cm/G           Fm     Fm/Eb
I got burnt out and chilled by the cold,
Db                           Ab
But I’ve got no regrets, and that being said,
           Bb                          Eb  Em  F
You know, cheap thrills can get pretty old.
Fm       Eb    Bb/D
Yeah,          Yeah,

[Instrumental Break]
Em A7 Dm Bbm F  G C Dbm
         Ooo Yeah

[Chorus]
          Dm           Dm/C     Bb
But, the change didn’t come overnight.
           F            A           Dm  Dm/C
I’ve been searching for you all my life.
         Bb                      F
All the habits that I couldn’t handle.
            G7         C
I swept them under the rug.
     C#              Fm/C        Bbm
In exchange for the sweetest addiction,
C                Fm
You: my elusive drug.

[Outro]
Fm    Db              Fm/C      Bbm
In exchange for the sweetest addiction,

You: my elusive drug.
