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