Getting Older

Intro: [Bb] [F] [Gm] [F] [Eb]

I'm gettin' [Bb]older, I think I'm agin' [F]well

I wish someone had [Gm]told me I'd be [F]doin' this by [Eb]myself

There's reasons that I'm [Bb]thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful [F]for

But it's different when a [Gm]stranger's always [F]waitin' at your [Eb]door

Which is [Cm]ironic 'cause the strangers seem to [F]want me more

Than anyone be[Bb]fore -Anyo[F]ne befor[Gm]e-

[Cm]Too bad they're usually [Eb]deranged

[Bb]Last week, I realized I crave [F]pity

When I re-tell a [Gm]story, I make [F]everything [Eb]sound worse

Can't shake the [Bb]feeling that I'm just bad at [F]healing

And maybe that's the [Gm]reason every [F]sentence sounds [Eb]rehearsed

Which is [Cm]ironic because when I wasn't [F]honest

I was still bein' ig[Bb]nored -Lyin' f[F]

or attent[Gm]ion, just to get neglection- [Cm]

Now we're [Eb]estranged

 

[Bb]Things I once [F]enjoyed [Gm]

[F]Just keep me [Eb]employed now [Bb]

Things I'm longing [F]for [Gm]

[F]Someday, I'll be [Eb]bored of

It's so [Cm] [F]weird [Bb] [F] [Gm]

That we care [Cm]so much, until we [Eb]don't

 

I'm gettin' [Bb]older, I've got more on my [F]shoulders

But I'm gettin' [Gm]better at [F]admitting when I'm [Eb]wrong

I'm happier than [Bb]ever, at least, that's my [F]endeavor

To keep myself [Gm]together and [F]prioritize my [Eb]pleasure

'Cause to be [Cm]honest, I just wished the word I [F]promised

Would depend on what I'm [Bb]givin' -Not on [F]his permission- [Gm]

-Wasn't my [Cm]decision- To be [Eb]abused, mm

 

[Bb]Things I once [F]enjoyed [Gm]

[F]Just keep me [Eb]employed now [Bb]

Things I'm longing [F]for [Gm]

[F]Someday, I'll be [Eb]bored of

It's so [Cm] [F]weird [Bb] [F] [Gm]

That we care [Cm]so much, until we [Eb]don't

 

But [Bb]next week, I hope I'm somewhere [F]laughin'

For anybody [Gm]asking, I [F]promise I'll be [Eb]fine

I've had some [Bb]trauma, did things I didn't [F]wanna

Was too afraid to [Gm]tell ya, but [F]now, I think it's time
