E                  E7
I don?t gamble, I don?t fight,
A                              F#7
I don?t be hangin? in the bars at night;
      E            C#7             F#7      B7   E
Yeah, I used to be a fighter, but now I am a wiser man
E                        E7
I don?t drink, much, I don?t smoke,
A                          F#7
I don?t hardly mess around with no dope;
      E            C#7             F#7      B7  E  E7
Yeah, I used to be a problem , but now I am a careful man

Refr?o:
             A
But if you used to wanna see a commotion,
            E
You should?ve seen the man that I used to be;
          A
I was trouble in perpetual motion,
F#7                  B7
Trouble with a capital ?T?
      E              E7
Stayin? out late, havin? fun,
            A                  F#7
And shot off every single shot in my gun;
      E            C#7      F#7            B7  E
Yeah, I used to be a lover but now I am an older man

Yeah, I used to be a terror, but now I am a tired man
