Old Me Better

	  		Old Me Better by Keb' Mo' (Studio Version)   
Note:  The song is in Bb.  However, in many live versions on youtube, he capos the 3rd fret  
so that even though it's still in Bb, it's as he's playing in G.  

Bb 
When I first laid eyes on you, I swore I'd do anything   
                                        C                  F      
Get 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      Bbmaj7/A    Bb7/Ab     G7                  C        F      Bb 
Cuz I'm scared  to     tell you        to your face that I like the old me better 

Bb                                                                       
I like the old me better; I was a lot more fun I like the old me better; 
C                     F             Bb             Bb7                 Eb               Edim7 
Didn't take crap from anyone Well I Sleep all day, party all night Did whatever I want, whatever I liked 
     Bb          Bbmaj7/A Bb7/Ab G7                     C        F      Bb 
Baby you made me                 a brand new man, but I like the old me better 

Don't get me wrong, you ain't that bad And I appreciate your work 
I don't drink as much, I don't swear as much You even made me go to church 
I ain't done much talkin' since the day we got together 
I'm a different man because of you, then I like the old me better 

I like the old me better; I was a lot more fun I like the old me better;  
Didn't take crap from anyone Well I'd sleep all day, party all night Do whatever I wanted,  
Whatever I liked You made me a brand new man, but I liked the old me better. 

G7                                           C                    F 
No doubt about it, you're the only one And I know you really love the man that I've become 

Bb 
I like the old me better; I was a lot more fun I like the old me better;  
Didn't take crap from anyone Well I'd sleep all day, party all night Do whatever I wanted,  
Whatever I liked You made me a brand new man, but I liked the old me better. 

Well I got to say you're the only one that I've ever loved You and I are a good fit 
We're like hand in glove 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 

I like the old me better; I was a lot more fun I like the old me better;  
Didn't take crap from anyone Well I'd sleep all day, party all night Do whatever I wanted,  
Whatever I like You made me a brand new man, but I like the old me better 
You made me a better man, but I  . . . me  . I like the old me better
