🎸 Intro: 

Bb Dm Gm F Eb



🎸 Verse:
Bb                          Dm
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well
Gm              F               Eb
I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself
Bb                                   Dm
There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for
Gm                 F                Eb
But it's different when a stranger's always waitin' at your door

Cm                                   F 
Which is ironic 'cause the strangers seem to want me more
F          Bb      Bb7      Gm
Than anyone before (Anyone before)
Cm                        Ebm
Too bad they're usually deranged

🎸 Verse: 
Bb                             Bbmaj7
Last week, I realized I crave pity
Gm              F        Eb 
When I retell a story, I make everything sound worse
Bb                            Dm
Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing
Gm           F            Eb
And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed

Cm                           F
Which is ironic because when I wasn't honest
F                   Bb          Bb7      Gm                     Cm
I was still bein' ignored (Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection)
Ebm
Now we're estranged



🎸 Chorus:  
Bb            Bbmaj7  Gm
Things I once enjoyed
F           Eb 
Just keep me employed now
Bb               Bbmaj7
Things I'm longing for
Gm  F              Eb 
Someday, I'll be bored of
Cm F Bb Bbmaj7 Gm
It's so weird
Cm               Ebm
That we care so much until we don't

POST-🎸 Chorus: 
Bb                           Bbmaj7
I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders
Gm           F              Eb
But I'm gettin' better at admitting when I'm wrong
Bb                         Dm
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor
Gm            F           Eb 
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure

Cm                                F
'Cause, to be honest, I just wished the word I promised
F                        Bb             Bb7        Gm
Would depend on what I'm givin' (Not on his permission)
Cm        Ebm
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, mm

🎸 Chorus:  
Bb            Bbmaj7  Gm
Things I once enjoyed
F           Eb 
Just keep me employed now
Bb               Bbmaj7
Things I'm longing for
Gm  F              Eb 
Someday, I'll be bored of
Cm F Bb Bb7 Gm
It's so weird
Cm               Ebm
That we care so much until we don't

POST-🎸 Chorus: 
Bb                             Bbmaj7
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'
Gm        F               Eb
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine
Bb                            Bbmaj7
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna
Gm           F                Eb 
Was too afraid to tell ya, but now, I think it's time
