🎶 WHEN I WAS OLDER

[Bmadd9]When I was [F#7]older
I was a [Gmaj7]sailor
On an open [F#7]sea
[Bmadd9]But now I'm [F#7]underwater
And my skin is [Gmaj7]paler
Than it should ever [F#7]be
[Bmadd9]Mhm

[Bmadd9]I'm on my back [F#7]again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and [Gmaj7]I remain the best of friends
Even after all this [F#7]ends
Can we pretend?

[Bmadd9]I'm on my—
I'm on my back [F#7]again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever [Gmaj7]do is see how far it bends
Before it breaks in half and [F#7]then
We bend it back again

[Bmadd9]Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my [F#7]blood, in my blood
[Gmaj7]Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to [F#7]mud
In the flood

[Bmadd9]When I was [F#7]older
I was a [Gmaj7]sailor
On an open [F#7]sea
[Bmadd9]But now I'm [F#7]underwater
And my skin is [Gmaj7]paler
Than it should ever [F#7]be

[Bmadd9]I'm watching movies back to back.
In black and white, I never seen anybody do it like I do it any better
[F#7]Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether

[Gmaj7]You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
[F#7]I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah

[Bmadd9]When I was [F#7]older
I was a [Gmaj7]sailor
On an open [F#7]sea ⠀
