[Intro 1]
[G][Bm]
[Em][G][C]
I'm [Em]gettin' ol

[Verse 1]
[G]der, I think I'm agin' wel[Bm]l
I wish someone had [Em]told me,
I'd be [G]doin' this by [C]my self
There's reasons [Em]that I'm [G]thankful,
there's a lot I'm grateful [Bm]for
But it's different when a [Em]stranger's always
[G]waitin' at your [C]door
Which [Em]is iro

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]nic
'cause the strangers seem to [D]want me
More than anyone [G]before
(any[F]one [Em]before)
[Am]Too bad they're usually dera[Cm]nged

[Verse 2]
[G]Last week, I realized I crave [Bm]pi ty
When I retell a [Em]sto ry,
I make [G]everything [C]sound worse
Can't [Em]shake the [G]feeling
that I'm just bad at [Bm]hea ling
And maybe that's the [Em]rea son
every [G]sentence sounds re[C]hearsed
Which [Em]is iro

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]nic
because when I wasn't [D]ho nest
I was still bein' ig[G]nored
(lyin' [F]for atten[Em]tion just to get [Am]neglection)
Now we're [Cm]estranged

[Chorus 1]
[G]Things I once enjoy[Bm]ed
[Em]Just[G] keep me employe[C]d now[Em]
[G]Things I'm longing for[Bm]
[Em]Some[G]day, I'll be bored[C] of
It's [Em]so we[Am]ird
[D][G][F][Em]
That we care [Am]so much until we do[Cm]n't

[Verse 3]
I'm gettin' [G]ol der,
I've got more on my [Bm]shoulders
But I'm gettin' [Em]bet ter
at ad[G]mitting when I'm [C]wrong
I'm [Em]happier than [G]e ver,
at least that's my [Bm]endeavor
To keep myself [Em]together
and prio[G]ritize my [C]pleasure
'Cause [Em]to be ho

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Am]nest,
I just wish that what I [D]promise
Would depend on what I'm [G]gi ven
(not on [F]his permis[Em]sion,
wasn't my [Am]decision)
To be [Cm]abused, mm

[Chorus 2]
[G]Things I once enjoy[Bm]ed
[Em]Just[G] keep me employe[C]d now[Em]
[G]Things I'm longing for[Bm]
[Em]Some[G]day, I'll be bored[C] of
It's [Em]so we[Am]ird
[D][G][F][Em]
That we care [Am]so much until we do[Cm]n't

[Outro 1]
But [G]next week,
I hope I'm somewhere laugh[Bm] ing
For anybody [Em]as king,
I [G]promise I'll be [C]fine
I've [Em]had some [G]trauma,
did things I didn't [Bm]wan na
Was too afraid to [Em]tell ya,
but [G]now I think it's time
