[Intro] G D Em D C [Verse 1]
            G                        D
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well

                   Em             D             C
I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself

                         G                                    D
There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for

                          Em                D               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        F       Em
Than anyone before (Anyone before)

Am                          Cm
  Too bad they're usually deranged

G                             D
Last week, I realized I crave pity

                 Em            D               C
When I re-tell a story, I make everything sound worse

                G                            D
Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing

                     Em           D                 C
And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed

          Am                          D
Which is ironic because when I wasn't honest

                    G            F        Em                           Am
I was still bein' ignored (Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection)

            Cm
Now we're estranged
[Chorus]
G                D    Em
 Things I once enjoyed

D              C         G
Just keep me employed now

                   D   Em
Things I'm longing for

D                C
Someday, I'll be bored of

        Am  D  G F Em
It's so weird

              Am               Cm
That we care so much, until we don't
[Verse 2]
            G                          D
I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders

                Em          D                C
But I'm gettin' better at admitting when I'm wrong

                 G                           D
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor

                 Em            D          C
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure

             Am                              D
'Cause to be honest, I just wish that what I promise

                         G             F              Em
Would depend on what I'm given (Not on his permission)

                   Am       Cm
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, mm
[Chorus]
G                D    Em
 Things I once enjoyed

D              C         G
Just keep me employed now

                   D   Em
Things I'm longing for

D                C
Someday, I'll be bored of

        Am  D  G F Em
It's so weird

              Am               Cm
That we care so much, until we don't
[Outro]
    G                               D
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'

            Em        D               C
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine

              G                           D
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna

                  Em           D                 N.C.
Was too afraid to tell ya, but now, I think it's time
