Billie Eilish – Getting Older Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are the chords for Getting Older by Billie Eilish on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
A# F Gm F D#

[Verse 1]
            A#
I'm gettin' older,
                    F
 I think I'm agin' well
                   Gm
I wish someone had told me
        F             D#
 I'd be doin' this by myself
                         A#
There's reasons that I'm thankful,
                             F
 there's a lot I'm grateful for
But it's different when a
 Gm                F
stranger's always waitin'
          D#
 at your door
          Cm
Which is ironic 'cause the strangers
         F
 seem to want me more
              A#        F       Gm
Than anyone before (Anyone before)

Cm                          D#
  Too bad they're usually deranged
A#                             F
Last week, I realized I crave pity
                 Gm
When I re-tell a story,
        F               D#
 I make everything sound worse
                A#
Can't shake the feeling that
                  F
 I'm just bad at healing
                     Gm
And maybe that's the reason every
 F                 D#
 sentence sounds rehearsed
          Cm
Which is ironic because when
          F
I wasn't honest
                    A#
I was still bein' ignored
         F        Gm
(Lyin' for attention, just
                     Cm
 to get neglection)
            D#
Now we're estranged

[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# F Gm
It's so weird
              Cm
That we care so much,
         D#
until we don't

[Verse 2]
            A#
I'm gettin' older, I've got
             F
 more on my shoulders
                Gm
But I'm gettin' better at
   F                D#
admitting when I'm wrong
                 A#
I'm happier than ever,
                        F
 at least, that's my endeavor
                 Gm
To keep myself together and
    F          D#
 prioritize my pleasure
             Cm
'Cause to be honest, I just
                    F
 wished the word I promised
                         A#
Would depend on what I'm givin'
          F              Gm
 (Not on his permission)
                   Cm       D#
(Wasn't my decision) To be abused, mm

[Outro]
    A#
But next week, I hope I'm
            F
somewhere laughin'
            Gm        F
For anybody asking, I promise
         D#
 I'll be fine
              A#
I've had some trauma,
                     F
did things I didn't wanna
                  Gm
Was too afraid to tell ya,
     F
but now, I think it's time
