[Intro]
G D Em D C
[Verse]
            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        F       Em 
Than anyone before (Anyone before) 
Am                          D 
  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            F        Em                           Am 
I was still bein' ignored (Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection) 
            Cm 
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 F Em 
It's so weird 
              Am               Cm 
That we care so much, until we don't
[Verse]
            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 wish that what I promise 
                         G             F              Em 
Would depend on what I'm given (Not on his permission) 
                   Am       Cm 
(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 F Em 
It's so weird 
              Am               Cm 
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
