                 Am                        Em
Shout out to the old me and everything he showed me
                 C
Glad you didn't listen when the world was tryna slow me
                 Am                      Em
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
               C
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me

               Am                        Em
Never a night alone, anywhere you wanna go
                C
Woke up in the mornin' wearin' someone else's clothes
                Am                        Em
Pictures in my phone with people I don't know
                C
Woke up in the mornin', how the hell'd I make it home?

         Am                                Em
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
        C
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough
       Am                              Em
And I did some shit I never should've done, eh-eh
              C
I would do it over now, I'd do it over

Chorus:
                 Am                         Em
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
                 C
Glad you didn't listen when the world was tryna slow me
                 Am                      Em
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
               C
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
Am                                    Em
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
C
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
                 Am                        Em
Shout out to the old me and everything he showed me
               C
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me

Another round, here we go, going in blow for blow
Look into the mirror, take the punches that I throw
I'm constantly reminded of all the compromises
By the people from my past who have a hard time letting go, yeah

And they wondered how long I could keep it up
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough
And I did some shit I never should've done, eh-eh
I would do it over now, I'd do it over

Chorus:
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh

            Em
Devil at my door
         C
Got me knockin', knockin', knockin' on the other side
Am            Em
Ashes on the floor
         C
But I'm walkin', walkin', walkin' out of here alive

Chorus:
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
(The world was trying to slow me, yeah)
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely (Lonely)
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid (Yeah)
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
(Yeah, the old me)
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh
