My Elusive Drug Chords

(ver. 1)
Elton John
[Verse 1]
D                          F
  I'm not the same as I used to be.
C                                  G
  All the things you've heard seem hard to believe.
E7                    F#  Bm
  Haven't always been good, never really been bad.
G                      D            E7                  A
  Most times I've been happy; yeah, sometimes I've been sad.
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                         D7
  Sure, I've made mistakes. Haven't we all?
C                                 Bm
  I've been loose as a cannon and dumb as a wall.
A                     F#   Bm
  Haven't always been sober  in counting my ducks,
G                    D        E7              A   Bb
  And if I look back now I've had my share of luck.
 
 
[Chorus]
        Bm            D         G
But the change didn't come overnight.
          Bm            D          G
I've been searching for you all my life.
        G                         D
All the habits that I couldn't handle,
               E7          A
I've swept them  under the rug
     Bb                       G
In exchange for the sweetest addiction:
A               D
You, my elusive drug.
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                      D7
  I'm going to stay now. I really like it here.
C                          G
  I may paint your picture, and I might grow a beard.
F                        F#   Bm
  There were times I was crazy; couldn't handle my life.
G                        D       E7               A
  Don't think you'd have liked me. Not at any old price.
 
 
[Chorus]
        Bm            D         G
But the change didn't come overnight.
          Bm            D          G
I've been searching for you all my life.
        G                         D
All the habits that I couldn't handle,
               E7          A
I've swept them  under the rug
     Bb                       G
In exchange for the sweetest addiction:
A               D
You, my elusive drug.
 
 
[Verse 4]
Bb
  And I've taken the pills.
      F                            D
I got burnt out and chilled by the cold,
Bb                         F
  But I've no regrets and, that being said,
          G                            C A D
You know, cheap thrills can get pretty old.
F          C   G
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
 
 
[Intrerlude]
A F# Bm   G D E7 A Bb
 
 
[Chorus]
        Bm            D         G
But the change didn't come overnight.
          Bm            D          G
I've been searching for you all my life.
        G                         D
All the habits that I couldn't handle,
               E7          A
I've swept them  under the rug
     Bb                       G
In exchange for the sweetest addiction:
A               D
You, my elusive drug.
 
 
[Outro]
     Bb                       G
In exchange for the sweetest addiction:
A               D
You, my elusive drug
