Getting Older

Bb  F  Gm  Bb  Eb
            Bb                       F
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well
                   Gm
I wish someone had told me
        Bb            Eb
I'd be doin' this by myself
                         Bb
There's reasons that I'm thankful
                           F
There's a lot I'm grateful for
                          Gm
But it's different when a stranger is
       Bb              Eb
Always waitin' at your door
Cm
Which is ironic, 'cause the strangers seem to
F
Want me more
               Bb      Ab    Gm
Than anyone before (anyone before)
Cm                      F
Too bad they're usually deranged
Bb                            Dm
Last week, I realized I crave pity
                 Gm
When I re-tell a story
      Bb               Eb
I make everything sound worse
                Bb
Can't shake the feeling
                      Dm
That I'm just bad at healing
                     Gm           Bb
And maybe that's the reason every sentence
          Eb
Sounds rehearsed
                                       F
Which is ironic, because when I wasn't honest
                  Bb
I was still bein' ignored
       Ab       Gm                     Cm
(Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection)
            Ebm
Now we're estranged

Bb                 Dm
   Things I once enjoyed
Gm  F              Eb7M
   Just keep me employed now
Bb                   Dm
   Things I'm longing for
Gm  F                Eb
    Someday, I'll be bored of
        Cm  F  Bb  Ab  Gm
It's so we-------------ird
            Cm                 F
That we care so much, until we don't

            Bb
I'm gettin' older
                     F
I've got more on my shoulders
                Gm        Bb
But I'm gettin' better at admitting
        Eb
When I'm wrong
                 Bb
I'm happier than ever
                     Dm
At least, that's my endeavor
                 Gm           Bb
To keep myself together and prioritize
    Eb
My pleasure
             Cm
'Cause to be honest
                          F
I just wished the word I promised
                         Bb
Would depend on what I'm givin'
        Ab     Gm
(Not on his permission)
               Cm           Ebm
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, hmm

Bb                 Dm
   Things I once enjoyed
Gm  F              Eb7M
   Just keep me employed now, mm
Bb                     Dm
   Things I'm longing for
Gm  F                Eb
    Someday, I'll be bored of
        Cm  F  Bb  Ab  Gm
It's so we-------------ird
            Cm                 F
That we care so much, until we don't

    Bb                              Dm
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'
            Gm        Bb              Eb
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine
              Bb                          Dm
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna
                  Gm
Was too afraid to tell ya
    Bb
But now, I think it's time
