[Intro] Bb F6/C F Gm F Eb [Verse 1]
             Bb                       F6/C
I'm getting older, I think I'm aging well

   F               Gm                F              Eb
I wish someone had told me, I'd be doing this by myself

                         Bb                                   F6/C
There's reasons that I'm thankful, There's a lot I'm grateful for

            F              Gm               F                 Eb
But it's different when a stranger's always waiting at your door

           Gm                F                Eb                Gm       F           Eb
Which is ironic 'Cause the strangers seem to want me more than anyone before (Anyone before)

Eb                Gm
Too bad, they're usually deranged

     Bb                       F6/C
Last week, I realized I crave pity

                 Gm            F               Eb
when I retell a story, I make everything sound worse

                 Bb                          F6/C
Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing

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

           Gm             F            Eb
Which is ironic Because when I wasn't honest

       F           Gm             Eb
I was still being ignored (Lying for attention just to get neglection)

Eb             F
Now we're estranged
[Chorus]
Bb              F       Gm          Eb
Things I once enjoyed, Just keep me employed now

Bb                 F     Gm               Eb
Things I'm longing for, someday, I'll be bored of

         Eb             Gm          F
It's so weird

               Eb               Bb
That we care so much, until we don't
[Verse 2]
             Bb                        F6/C
I'm getting older, I've got more on my shoulders

                Gm         F                  Eb
But I'm getting better at admitting when I'm wrong

                 Bb                       F6/C
I'm happier than ever, At least that's my endeavor

                 Gm            F           Eb
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure

              Gm              F                Eb
'Cause to be honest, I just wish that, what I promise

        F                 Gm            Eb
would depend on what I'm given (Not on his permission, wasn't my decision)

Eb       F
To be abused
[Chorus]
Bb              F       Gm          Eb
Things I once enjoyed, Just keep me employed now

Bb                 F     Gm               Eb
Things I'm longing for, someday, I'll be bored of

         Eb             Gm          F
It's so weird

               Eb               Bb
That we care so much, until we don't
[Verse 3]
     Bb                              F6/C
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughing

             Gm                       Eb
for anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine

               Bb                         F6/C
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna

                  Gm                            Eb
was too afraid to tell ya, but now I think it's time
