I'm Not The Boy I Used To Be
by Charley Pide
Dear Cmama I'm coming home tomorrow
If you don't Fmind would you meet me at the Ctrain
Dear mama my wandering days're over
And it's so gDood to be coming home aG7gain
Dear mCama we'll walk the fields together
And through the vFalley we will stroll hand in hCand
FI just can't wait to see you
And touch the sCoil of home so cFlean
But mCama I'm not the bG7oy I used to Cbe
For I've been gone away too long
And I've dFone everything that's wCrong
But I think I've finally found myself at lG7ast
And jCust you wait and see another cFhance is all I nCeed
But mama I'm not the bG7oy I used to Cbe
You see mama I've spent time in prison
For a Fcrime that I'm too ashamed to tCell
And whFen you meet me there tomorrow
Don't be surpCrised at what you'll Fsee
Cause mCama I'm not the bG7oy I used to Cbe

I'm Not The Boy I Used To Be

by Charley Pide

Dear mama I'm coming home tomorrow

F C

If you don't mind would you meet me at the train

Dear mama my wandering days're over

D G7

And it's so good to be coming home again

Dear mama we'll walk the fields together

F C

And through the valley we will stroll hand in hand

I just can't wait to see you

C F

And touch the soil of home so clean

C G7 C

But mama I'm not the boy I used to be

For I've been gone away too long

F C

And I've done everything that's wrong

But I think I've finally found myself at last

C F C

And just you wait and see another chance is all I need

G7 C

But mama I'm not the boy I used to be

You see mama I've spent time in prison

F C

For a crime that I'm too ashamed to tell

And when you meet me there tomorrow

C F

Don't be surprised at what you'll see

C G7 C

Cause mama I'm not the boy I used to be
