The Other Me

Paul McCartney


Tom: G

  D                  F#m
I know I was a crazy fool
    Bm                     Am7  D
For treating you the way I did
    G                       B7
But something took hold of me
      Em                   A7
And I acted like a dustbin lid
  D                    F#m
I didn't give a second thought
   Bm                         Am7   D
To what the consequence might be
  G               B7
I really wouldn't be surprised
   Em                 A7           D
If you were trying to find another me

Chorus:
    D                            G
The other me would rather be the glad one
    D                              G
The other me would rather play the fool
  D
I want to be the kind of me
     G               E         A7
That doesn't let you down as a rule

I know it doesn't take a lot
To have a little self-control
But every time that I forgot
Well I landed in another hole

But everytime you pull me out
I find it harder not to see
That we can build a better life
If I can try to find the other me

Chorus

G             D
But if I ever hurt you
         G                  D
Well you know that it's not real
         Bm          G
It's not easy living by yourself
    Em           A7
So imagine how I feel

I wish that I could take it back
I'd like to make a different mood
And if you let me try again
I'll have a better attitude

Well I know that one and one makes two
And that's what I want us to be
I really would appreciate it
If you'd help me find the other me

Chorus
