[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]When I first laid eyes on you
I swore I'd do anything
That you'd clean me up, fix me up
Just [A]to get you to wear [D]my wedding ring
Now [G]I'm having second thoughts
And [C]I'm writing you [C#dim]this letter
I'm scared [G]to tell [E]you to your [Bm]face
That [E]I'd [D]like to owe you better
[G]I like to owe me better
It was a lot more fun
I like to owe me better
[A]I didn't take crap from anyone
[D]Well I'd sleep all [G]day
Party all night
Did whatever [C]I wanted
[C#dim]Whatever I liked
And you made [G]me a brand [E]new babe
[A]But I like [D]to owe me better
[G]Don't get me wrong
It ain't that bad
I appreciate your work
I don't drink as much
I don't swear much,
[A]even made me go [D]to church
I ain't [G]done much talkin'
since [C]the day we got [C#dim]to gether
I'm a different [G]man [E]be cause of you,
that I like [D]to owe [G]me better
I like to owe me better
I was a lot more fun,
I like to owe me better
Didn't [A]take crap [D]from anyone,
well I'd sleep [G]all day
Party all night,
[C]do whatever I wanted,
[C#dim]whatever I liked
And you made [G]me a brand [Bm]new man,
[A]but I like [D]the old me [G]better
No [E]doubt about it, you're the only one
And I know [A]you've been in love,
[D]the man that I've become
But I like the [G]old me better
I was a lot more fun,
I like the old me better
Didn't [A]take crap from any[D]one
while I sleep [G]all day
Partied all night,
did whatever [C]I wanted,
[C#dim]whatever I liked
You [G]made me a brand [Em]new man,
[E]but I like [D]the old [G]me better
Well, I got to say,
you're the only one
that I've ever loved
And you and I are a good fit,
we're like a [A]hand in [D]glove
But now [G]I'm sittin' here
lookin' back,
wearin' [C]this stupid [C#dim]sweater
Truth [G]be told, [E]I got to say,
I like [D]the old [G]me better
I'd to owe me better
I was a lot more fun
I'd like to owe me better
Didn't [A]take rent [D]from anyone
But I'd sleep all [G]day,
party all night
[C]Do whatever I wanna [C#dim]do
Well, I'd like to
You [G]made me [E]a brand new man
[A]But I'd [D]like to owe me better
[G]You made me a brand new [E]man
But [Am]I...[A][D]
Me...
I'd like to owe me [G]better you
