Getting Older chords by Billie Eilish

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 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    D    Em
Than anyone before (Anyone before)
Am             C
 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      D    Em              Am
I was still bein' ignored (Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection)
      C
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 D Em
It's so weird
       Am        C
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 wished the word I promised
             G       D       Em
Would depend on what I'm givin' (Not on his permission)
          Am    C
(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 D Em
It's so weird
       Am        C
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
