Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:

Bb majorBb  FF  G minorGm  Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb

            Bb majorBb                       FF
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well
                   G minorGm
I wish someone had told me
        Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb
I'd be doin' this by myself
                         Bb majorBb
There's reasons that I'm thankful
                           FF
There's a lot I'm grateful for
                          G minorGm
But it's different when a stranger is
       Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
Always waitin' at your door

C minorCm
Which is ironic, 'cause the strangers seem to
FF
Want me more
               Bb majorBb      AbAb    G minorGm
Than anyone before (anyone before)
C minorCm                      FF
Too bad they're usually deranged

Bb majorBb                            DmDm
Last week, I realized I crave pity
                 G minorGm
When I re-tell a story
      Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
I make everything sound worse

                Bb majorBb
Can't shake the feeling
                      DmDm
That I'm just bad at healing
                     G minorGm           Bb majorBb
And maybe that's the reason every sentence
          Eb MajorEb
Sounds rehearsed
                                       FF
Which is ironic, because when I wasn't honest
                  Bb majorBb
I was still bein' ignored
       AbAb       G minorGm                     C minorCm
(lyin' for attention, just to get neglection)

            EbmEbm
Now we're estranged

Bb majorBb                   DmDm
   Things I'm longing for

            C minorCm                 FF

Verse:

            Bb majorBb
I'm gettin' older
                     FF
I've got more on my shoulders
                G minorGm        Bb majorBb
But I'm gettin' better at admitting
        Eb MajorEb
When I'm wrong
                 Bb majorBb
I'm happier than ever
                     DmDm
At least, that's my endeavor
                 G minorGm           Bb majorBb
To keep myself together and prioritize
    Eb MajorEb
My pleasure
             C minorCm
'Cause to be honest
                          FF
I just wished the word I promised
                         Bb majorBb
Would depend on what I'm givin'
        AbAb     G minorGm
(not on his permission)
               C minorCm           EbmEbm
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, hmm


Chorus:

Bb majorBb                 DmDm
   Things I once enjoyed
G minorGm  FF              Eb7M
   Just keep me employed now, mm
Bb majorBb                     DmDm
   Things I'm longing for
G minorGm  FF                Eb MajorEb
    Someday, I'll be bored of
        C minorCm  FF  Bb majorBb  AbAb  G minorGm
E MajorE|t's| so we-------------ird
            C minorCm                 FF
That we care so much, until we don't

Final:

    Bb majorBb                              DmDm
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'
            G minorGm        Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine
              Bb majorBb                          DmDm
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna
                  G minorGm
Was too afraid to tell ya
    Bb majorBb
