Elton John - My Elusive Drug Chords

[Verse 1]
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.

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,

I’m gonna stay now.

I may paint your picture, and I might grow a beard.

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.
