Verse 1:
	  E
	I've been obnoxious
 
	I've been unconscious
 
	I've been all kinds of things that are hard to spell
                    A
	I've been unruly
 
	Speakin' truly
 
	I've been so cool i couldn't hardly even stand myself
 
 
Verse 2:
                       E
	I've been a monster
 
	Without a sponsor
 
	I've been Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde
                     A
	I've been a goner
 
	I've been a loner
 
	And when my mixture was right
 
	Hell,i'm a nice bunch of guys
 
 
Chorus:
          B                                    A     E
	I am what i am 'cause i ain't what i used to be
          B                                           A      E

	I tried to snake her
                       A
	I've been mysterious
 
	I've been delirious
 
	I've been so weird it would have killed a normal man
 
 
Verse 4:
                   E
	I wanted money
 
	I wanted power
 
	I want a monument
 
	Kind of like the Eiffel Tower
                    A
	I've been lost at sea
 
	I've been lost in space
 
	And when i fall in love
 
	I fall all over the place
 
 
Chorus.
 
 
Verse 5:
          A
	And you can go on forever and make the same mystakes
            B
	Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate
           A
	Go on and do until you finally see
           B
	What it is that you was that you don't want to be
 
 
Verse 6:
                    E
	I was an outlaw
 
	I was an in-law
 
	I was a scapegoat
 
	That was the last straw
                     A
	I hit the highway
 
	Singin' my way
 
	But it wound up sounding like you'll never walk alone
 
 
Verse 7:
                  E
	I got a story
 
	Reflected glory
 
	Is the way that i've been seein' for most of my life
                         A
	I heard the laughter
 
	Up in the rafter
 
	But i never ever thought that the joke was on me
 
 
Chorus(x2).
