• Difficulty: Intermediate

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Intro:

G Bm Em C



🎸 Verse 1:
       G            Bm
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well
          Em              C
I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself
              G                 Bm
There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for
              Em                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   Adim   Em
Than anyone before (Anyone before)
Am             Cm
 Too bad they're usually deranged

🎸 Verse 2:
 G               Bm
Last week, I realized I crave pity
          Em              C
When I re-tell a story, I make everything sound worse
         G              Bm
Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing
           Em               C
And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed
     Am              D
Which is ironic because when I wasn't honest
          G      Adim  Em            Am
I was still bein' ignored (Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection)
      Cm
Now we're estranged


🎸 Chorus:
G        Bm
 Things I once enjoyed
Em       Cmaj7
 Just keep me employed now
G          Bm
 Things I'm longing for
Em        Cmaj7
 Someday, I'll be bored of
     Am D G Adim Em
It's so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird
       Am         Cm
That we care so much, until we don't


🎸 Verse 3:
       G              Bm
I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders
         Em              C
But I'm gettin' better at admitting when I'm wrong
         G              Bm
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor
         Em             C
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure
       Am                D
'Cause to be honest, I just wished the word I promised
              G      Adim  Em
Would depend on what I'm givin' (Not on his permission)
       Am       Cm
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, mm


🎸 Chorus:
G        Bm
 Things I once enjoyed
Em       Cmaj7
 Just keep me employed now
G          Bm
 Things I'm longing for
Em        Cmaj7
 Someday, I'll be bored of
     Am D G  Adim Em
It's so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird
       Am         Cm
That we care so much, until we don't


🎸 Outro:
   G                Bm
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'
       Em            C
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine
        G             Bm
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna
          Em              N.C.
Was too afraid to tell ya, but now, I think it's time
