            A#                        F
I'm gettin' older, I think I'm agin' well
                    Gm             F
I wish someone had told me I'd be doin'
        D#
this by myself
                          A#
There's reasons that I'm thankful,
                            F
there's a lot I'm grateful for
                            Gm               F
But it's different when a stranger's always waitin'
         D#
at your door
           Cm                                 F
Which is ironic 'cause the strangers seem to want
me more
              A#       G#     G
Than anyone before (Anyone before)
Cm                         D#m
Too bad they're usually deranged

Chorus:
A#               F   Gm
Things I once enjoyed
 F              D#       A#
Just keep me employed now
                    F  Gm
Things I'm longing for
 F                D#
Someday, I'll be bored of
         Cm  F A# G# G
It's so weird
             Cm                D#m
That we care so much, until we don't

I'm getting older, I've got more on my shoulders
But I'm getting better at admitting when I'm wrong
I'm happier than ever, at least, that's my endeavor
To keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure
'Cause, to be honest, I just wish that what
I promise
Would depend on what I'm given
(Not on his permission)
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused

Chorus:
Things I once enjoyed (Ah)
Just keep me employed now
Things I'm longing for (Ah)
Someday, I'll be bored of
It's so weird, so weird
Oh, we care so much, until we don't

Yeah, oh, oh, oh, ooh
That we care so much
Until we don't

But next week, I hope I'm somewhere laughing
For anybody asking, I promise I'll be fine
I've had some trauma, felt things I didn't wanna
Was too afraid to tell ya, but now I think it's time
