                                   E
Well, I've been going through the motions
                      B
Wonder if anyone can see
                         E
That I been looking for something
                           B
Have you been looking for me

Chorus:
B  C#m  Dm  D#m
I ain't the same no more
   D#m  Dm    C#m
In fact I have changed from before
                          B
No, you ain't gonna find me
E
Oh no, cause I'm not who I used to be

Well, I used to be a little girl
Just a smiling, feeling free
I wasn't worried about nobody
Nobody worried 'bout me

Chorus

I said I'd never grow old
I can't remember how that used to be
I find myself without the power
I find myself without the glory

Chorus:
Listen, I ain't the same, no more
You'll find I have changed from before
You ain't gonna find me
Oh no, 'cause I'm not who I used to be
Oh, no, no, I ain't who I used to be
Oh, no, no, I ain't who I used to be
Oh, no...
