Verse 1: 
        E5 
      I've been obnoxious 
 
      I've been unconscious 
 
      I've been all kinds of things that are hard to spell 
                    A5   
      I've been unruly 
 
      Speakin' truly 
 
      I've been so cool i couldn't hardly even stand myself 
 
Verse 2: 
                       E5 
      I've been a monster 
 
      Without a sponsor 
 
      I've been Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde 
                     A5 
      I've been a goner 
                       
      I've been a loner 
 
      And when my mixture was right 
                                    
      Hell,i'm a nice bunch of guys 


          B5                                    A5     E5 
      I am what i am 'cause i ain't what i used to be 
          B5                                           A5      E5

      I tried to snake her 
                       A5 
      I've been mysterious 
 
      I've been delirious 
 
      I've been so weird it would have killed a normal man 
 
Verse 4: 
                   E5  
      I wanted money 
 
      I wanted power 
 
      I want a monument 
 
      Kind of like the Eiffel Tower 
                    A5                     
      I've been lost at sea 
                     
      I've been lost in space 
 
      And when i fall in love 
                               
      I fall all over the place 
 
Chorus. 
 
Verse 5: 
          A5 
      And you can go on forever and make the same mystakes 
            B5 
      Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate 
           A5  
      Go on and do until you finally see 
           B5   
      What it is that you was that you don't want to be 
 
Verse 6: 
                    E5 
      I was an outlaw 
 
      I was an in-law 
 
      I was a scapegoat 
 
      That was the last straw 
                     A5 
      I hit the highway 
 
      Singin' my way 
                                 
      But it wound up sounding like you'll never walk alone 
 
Verse 7: 
                  E5  
      I got a story 
 
      Reflected glory 
 
      Is the way that i've been seein' for most of my life 
                         A5 
      I heard the laughter 
                      
      Up in the rafter 
                                       
      But i never ever thought that the joke was on me 
 
Chorus(x2).
