🎶 Getting Older

I'm gettin' [B#]older, I think I'm agin' [Em]well
I wish someone had [F#]told me I'd be [Em]doin' this by [Dm]myself
There's reasons that I'm [B#]thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful [Em]for
But it's different when a [F#]stranger's always [Em]waitin' at your [Dm]door
Which is [G]ironic 'cause the strangers seem to [Em]want me more
Than anyone be[B#]fore -Anyo[Em]ne befor[F#]e-
[G]Too bad they're usually [Dm]deranged
[B#]Last week, I realized I crave [Em]pity
When I re-tell a [F#]story, I make [Em]everything [Dm]sound worse
Can't shake the [B#]feeling that I'm just bad at [Em]healing
And maybe that's the [F#]reason every [Em]sentence sounds [Dm]rehearsed
Which is [G]ironic because when I wasn't [Em]honest
I was still bein' ig[B#]nored -Lyin' f[Em]
or attent[F#]ion, just to get neglection- [G]
Now we're [Dm]estranged

[B#]Things I once [Em]enjoyed [F#]
[Em]Just keep me [Dm]employed now [B#]
Things I'm longing [Em]for [F#]
[Em]Someday, I'll be [Dm]bored of
It's so [G][Em]weird [B#] [Em] [F#]
That we care [G]so much, until we [Dm]don't

I'm gettin' [B#]older, I've got more on my [Em]shoulders
But I'm gettin' [F#]better at [Em]admitting when I'm [Dm]wrong
I'm happier than [B#]ever, at least, that's my [Em]endeavor
To keep myself [F#]together and [Em]prioritize my [Dm]pleasure
'Cause to be [G]honest, I just wished the word I [Em]promised
Would depend on what I'm [B#]givin' -Not on [Em]his permission- [F#]
-Wasn't my [G]decision- To be [Dm]abused, mm

[B#]Things I once [Em]enjoyed [F#]
[Em]Just keep me [Dm]employed now [B#]
Things I'm longing [Em]for [F#]
[Em]Someday, I'll be [Dm]bored of
It's so [G][Em]weird [B#] [Em] [F#]
That we care [G]so much, until we [Dm]don't

But [B#]next week, I hope I'm somewhere [Em]laughin'
For anybody [F#]asking, I [Em]promise I'll be [Dm]fine
I've had some [B#]trauma, did things I didn't [Em]wanna
Was too afraid to [F#]tell ya, but [Em]now, I think it's time⠀
