Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 3 half steps down [ -3 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 3 to stay in the same key

Intro: Bb F Gm F Eb
 
Verse 1:
            Bb                        F
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well
                   Gm             F             Eb
I wish someone had told me I'd be doin' this by myself
                         Bb                                    F
There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for
                          Gm                F               Eb
But it's different when a stranger's always waitin' at your door
          Cm                                 F
Which is ironic 'cause the strangers seem to want me more
              Bb        F       Gm
Than anyone before -Anyone before-
Cm                          Eb
  Too bad they're usually deranged
Bb                             F
Last week, I realized I crave pity
                 Gm            F               Eb
When I re-tell a story, I make everything sound worse
                Bb                            F
Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing
                     Gm           F                 Eb
And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed
          Cm                          F
Which is ironic because when I wasn't honest
                    Bb            F        Gm                           Cm
I was still bein' ignored -Lyin' for attention, just to get neglection-
            Eb
Now we're estranged
 
Chorus:
Bb                F    Gm
 Things I once enjoyed
F              Eb         Bb
Just keep me employed now
                   F   Gm
Things I'm longing for
F                Eb
Someday, I'll be bored of
        Cm  F  Bb F Gm
It's so weird
              Cm               Eb
That we care so much, until we don't
 
Verse 2:
            Bb                          F
I'm gettin' older, I've got more on my shoulders
                Gm          F                Eb
But I'm gettin' better at admitting when I'm wrong
                 Bb                           F
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor
                 Gm            F          Eb
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure
             Cm                               F
'Cause to be honest, I just wished the word I promised
                         Bb              F              Gm
Would depend on what I'm givin' -Not on his permission-
                   Cm       Eb
-Wasn't my decision- To be abused, mm
 
Chorus:
Bb                F    Gm
 Things I once enjoyed
F              Eb         Bb
Just keep me employed now
                   F   Gm
Things I'm longing for
F                Eb
Someday, I'll be bored of
        Cm  F  Bb F Gm
It's so weird
              Cm               Eb
That we care so much, until we don't
 
Outro:
    Bb                               F
But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughin'
            Gm        F               Eb
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine
              Bb                           F
I've had some trauma, did things I didn't wanna
                  Gm           F                 -nc-
Was too afraid to tell ya, but now, I think it's time
