🎸 Intro:

G  Bm  Em  C



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

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


🎸 Chorus:
G                Bm
 Things I once enjoyed
Em             Cmaj7
 Just keep me employed now
G                   Bm
 Things I'm longing for
Em                Cmaj7
 Someday, I'll be bored of
         Am  D  G  Adim  Em
It's so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird
             Am                 Cm
That we care so much, until we don't


🎸 Verse 3:
             G                           Bm
I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders
                 Em                           C
But I'm gettin' better at admitting when I'm wrong
                  G                           Bm
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor
                 Em                         C
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure
              Am                                D
'Cause to be honest, I just wished the word I promised
                           G            Adim    Em
Would depend on what I'm givin' (Not on his permission)
             Am             Cm
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, mm


🎸 Chorus:
G                Bm
 Things I once enjoyed
Em             Cmaj7
 Just keep me employed now
G                   Bm
 Things I'm longing for
Em                Cmaj7
 Someday, I'll be bored of
         Am  D  G   Adim  Em
It's so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird
             Am                 Cm
That we care so much, until we don't


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