[Opening]
[G] [D] [Em] [D] [C]
I’m getting [G]older, I think I’m aging [D]well.
I wish someone had [Em]told me I’d be [D]doing this by [C]myself.
There’s reasons that I’m [G]thankful, there’s a lot I’m grateful [D]for.
But it’s different when a [Em]stranger’s always [D]waiting at your [C]door.
Which is [Am]ironic ’cause the strangers seem to [D]want me more.
Than anyone be[G]fore (Any[D]one be[Em]fore)
[Am]Too bad they’re usually de[C]ranged…
[verse 2]
[G]Last week, I realized I crave [D]pity.
When I re-tell a [Em]story, I make [D]everything sound [C]worse.
Can’t shake the [G]feeling that I’m just bad at [D]healing.
And maybe that’s the [Em]reason every [D]sentence sounds re[C]hearsed.
Which is [Am]ironic because when I wasn’t [D]honest.
I was still being ig[G]nored (Lying [D]for atten[Em]tion, just to get neglection) [Am]
Now we’re est[C]ranged…
[chorus]
[G]Things I once en[D]joyed. [Em]
[D]Just keep me em[C]ployed now. [G]
Things I’m longing [D]for. [Em]
[D]Someday, I’ll be [C]bored of.
It’s so [Am]weird [D] [G] [D] [Em]
That we care [Am]so much, until we [C]don’t.
[verse 3]
I’m getting [G]older, I’ve got more on my [D]shoulders
But I’m getting [Em]better at ad[D]mitting when I’m [C]wrong
I’m happier than [G]ever, at least, that’s my en[D]deavor
To keep myself to[Em]gether and pri[D]oritize my [C]pleasure
‘Cause to be [Am]honest, I just wished the word I [D]promised
Would depend on what I’m [G]giving (Not on [D]his permission) [Em]
(Wasn’t my decision) [Am]To be a[C]bused, hmmm…
[chorus]
[G]Things I once en[D]joyed. [Em]
[D]Just keep me em[C]ployed now. [G]
Things I’m longing [D]for. [Em]
[D]Someday, I’ll be [C]bored of.
It’s so [Am]weird [D] [G] [D] [Em]
That we care [Am]so much, until we [C]don’t.
[Closing]
But [G]next week, I hope I’m somewhere [D]laughing.
For anybody [Em]asking, I [D]promise I’ll be [C]fine.
I’ve had some [G]trauma, did things I didn’t [D]wanna.
Was too afraid to [Em]tell ya, but [D]now, I think it’s time.
