Getting Older

Tom : Bb
[Intro] 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

Ebm

Bb Dm
Things I once enjoyed
Gm F Eb7M

Cm F

[Segunda Parte]
Bb
I'm gettin' older
F

Gm Bb

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

[Refrão]
Bb Dm
Things I once enjoyed
Gm F Eb7M
Just keep me employed now, mm

[Final]
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
