• Difficulty: Intermediate

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

🎸 Intro:

G+G B minorBm E minorEm C majorC


🎸 Verse 1:
       G+G            B minorBm
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well
          E minorEm              C majorC
I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself
              G+G                 B minorBm
There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for
              E minorEm                C majorC
But it's different when a stranger's always waitin' at your door
     A minorAm                 D MajorD
Which is ironic 'cause the strangers seem to want me more
        G+G   AdimAdim   E minorEm
Than anyone before (Anyone before)
A minorAm             C minorCm
 Too bad they're usually deranged

🎸 Verse 2:
 G+G               B minorBm
Last week, I realized I crave pity
          E minorEm              C majorC
When I re-tell a story, I make everything sound worse
         G+G              B minorBm
Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing
           E minorEm               C majorC
And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed
     A minorAm              D MajorD
Which is ironic because when I wasn't honest
          G+G      AdimAdim  E minorEm            A minorAm
I was still bein' ignored (Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection)
      C minorCm
Now we're estranged


🎸 Chorus:
G+G        B minorBm
 Things I once enjoyed
E minorEm       Cmaj7Cmaj7
 Just keep me employed now
G+G          B minorBm
 Things I'm longing for
E minorEm        Cmaj7Cmaj7
 Someday, I'll be bored of
     A minorAm D MajorD G+G AdimAdim E minorEm
It's so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird
       A minorAm         C minorCm
That we care so much, until we don't

🎸 Verse 3:
       G+G              B minorBm
I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders
         E minorEm              C majorC
But I'm gettin' better at admitting when I'm wrong
         G+G              B minorBm
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor
         E minorEm             C majorC
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure
       A minorAm                D MajorD
'Cause to be honest, I just wished the word I promised
              G+G      AdimAdim  E minorEm
Would depend on what I'm givin' (Not on his permission)
       A minorAm       C minorCm
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, mm


🎸 Chorus:
G+G        B minorBm
 Things I once enjoyed
E minorEm       Cmaj7Cmaj7
 Just keep me employed now
G+G          B minorBm
 Things I'm longing for
E minorEm        Cmaj7Cmaj7
 Someday, I'll be bored of
     A minorAm D MajorD G+G  AdimAdim E minorEm
It's so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird
       A minorAm         C minorCm
That we care so much, until we don't


🎸 Outro:
   G+G                B minorBm
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'
       E minorEm            C majorC
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine
        G+G             B minorBm
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna
          E minorEm              N.C.
Was too afraid to tell ya, but now, I think it's time
