[Verse 1]

          E                E
Well it's true, all you've heard,
    A                             Am
How I'm living like a gypsy and I can't be cured
            E
Of this homesick blues,
                 B
That I've come down with.
E                E7
I stay out late, every night,
A                            Am
In a different state getting high as a kite.
      E
Until I come down
E                         B
I don't realize that I've been flying.


[Pre-Chorus]

    A                        Am
And I suppose you know I can dig myself a hole
E                       A
I've been told time and again,
     E
Yeah the rumors are true,
    B                      E
But I ain't who I was back then.


[Chorus]

                            A
These days I'm good and I'm grown,
        Am                E
And I'm wrong most of the time.
           B
Forgive or forget me,
              E
If my reasons don't rhyme.
                      A
But don't take it too hard,
         Am                 E
It's all part of living the dream.
             A
I pick and I sing
                E                 B
But I'm finally proud of who I am now
                   E   
Cause it ain't who I was.

[Pre-Chorus]

       A                        Am
Oh and I suppose you know I can dig myself a hole
E                       A
I've been told time and again
     E
Well the rumors are true
B                          E
But I ain't who I was back then.


[Chorus]

                            A
These days I'm good and I'm grown
        Am                E
And I'm wrong most of the time.
           B                        E
Forgive or forget me, if my reasons don't rhyme.
                      A
But don't take it too hard,
     Am                      E
It's just part of living the dream,
             A
I pick and I sing.
                E                 B
But I'm finally proud of who I am now
              E
Cause it aint who I was
    A            E                 B
Lord I'm finally proud of who I am now
               E          E
Cause it ain't who I was.
