When I first laid eyes on you, I swore I'd do anything  
                                        C                  F
Let you clean me up, fix me up  Just to get you to wear my wedding ring
Bb             Bb7                      Eb               Edim7
Now I'm having second thoughts  And I'm writing you this letter
        Bb            A    Ab        G7                  C        F      Bb
Cuz I'm scared  to  tell  you        to your face that I like the old me better
 
[Chorus]
           Bb
I like the old me better; I was a lot more fun 
           Bb               C                     F
I like the old me better; I didn't take crap from anyone
         Bb             Bb7                    Eb                 Edim7
Well I'd sleep all day, party all night Do whatever I wanted, whatever I liked
     Bb       A  Ab   G7                 C          F      Bb
Baby you made me    a brand new man, but I like the old me better

I don't drink as much, I don't swear as much You even made me go to church
Bb                Bb7               Eb           Edim7
I ain't done much talkin' since the day we got together

I'm a different man because of you, but then I like the old me better

     No doubt about it, you're the only one

    Bb                   Bb7          Eb                  Edim7
But now I'm sittin' here looking back wearin' this stupid sweater

Truth be told, I   got to say  I like the old me better
