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
