The One I Was Then by William Clark Green

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=28&v=JbN6wnuWPlU

Bm
I've been on the road so long

     A
the straight and narrow I've been on

       Em                           Em7       
is as crooked as this smile that I fake

    Bm
And I need you like I need a drink

      A
or a cigarette some time to think

           Em                     Em7
about the choices that you and me made

       (?)  G          A
And I feel lonely and I'm so sorry 

Bm7
I remember the morning of Christmas Day

       A7
I was still drunk you were so afraid

                Em7
to end up with someone like me

     Bm7
And then it all seemed to fall apart

      A7
in a foreign land riding in your car

        Em                     Em7
as you sang I still don't know what love means

    (?)       G                A
And man that hurt me just like I hurt you

    G                                       A         D
And I have done some thinking and changing along the way

    G                               A        D
And I wish that you could just see who I am today

      Bm                    A
And I know I'm a damn good man 

            G                             A        D
I know you did the best you can with the one I was then

  Bm                            A
I never wanted all of this but oil and water they never mix
 
           D                            Em7
Until you light a match and turn it to flame

    Bm7
And there won't be another time around 

A
Had my chance and I shot it down

        Em7
Just a bird and a rifle to blame

       G                        A
Man I hate that song I play it all night long

    G                              A                  D
And I have done some thinking and changing along the way

    G                                A       D 
And I wish that you could just see who I am today
 
      Bm                    A 
And I know I'm a damn good man 
 
            G                             A         D
I know you did the best you can with the one I was then

       Bm                   A
And I know I'm a damn good man 

            G                             A         D
I know you did the best you can with the one I was then


This isn't perfect-sounds like he's playing in an alternate tuning so some of the (?) chords are chords he slides to the next chord.  I'm guessing they might be some type of F#m chord since the song appears to be in the key of Bm.  It's not perfect but it's a start.  Corrections are welcome!
