When I Was Older chords by Billie Eilish

Intro:
Bmadd9 F#7 Gmaj7 F#7

Chorus:

Bmadd9       F#7
When I was older

         Gmaj7
I was a sailor

            F#7
On an open sea

Bmadd9            F#7
But now I'm underwater

                Gmaj7
And my skin is paler

                    F#7
Than it should ever be
Bmadd9
Mhm

Verse:

Bmadd9           F#7
I'm on my back again

Dreaming of a time and place

              Gmaj7
Where you and I remain the best of friends

                       F#7
Even after all this ends

Can we pretend?
Bmadd9
I'm on my—

               F#7
I'm on my back again

It's seeming more and more

                 Gmaj7
Like all we ever do is see how far it bends

                               F#7
Before it breaks in half and then

We bend it back again

Pre-Chorus:
Bmadd9
Guess I got caught in the middle of it

Yes I've been taught, got a little of it

        F#7
In my blood, in my blood

Gmaj7
Memories burn like a forest fire

                                     F#7
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood

Chorus:

Bmadd9       F#7
When I was older

         Gmaj7
I was a sailor

            F#7
On an open sea

Bmadd9            F#7
But now I'm underwater

                Gmaj7
And my skin is paler

                    F#7
Than it should ever be

Bridge:
Bmadd9
I'm watching movies back to back.

In black and white, I never seen anybody do it like I do it any better

F#7
Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors

Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether

Gmaj7
You'd really like it in the limelight

You'd sympathize with all the bad guys

F#7
I'm still a victim in my own right

But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah

Outro:

Bmadd9       F#7
When I was older

         Gmaj7
I was a sailor

            F#7
On an open sea
