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

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

But next week, I hope I'm
