[Intro]
D G D G D G F# G

[Verse 1]
D        G
Over and over,
   D         G
a carousel ride
D             G
Pay for your ticket,
             F#       G
watch the red moon climb
D           G
Sick to my stomach,
  D              G
can't find the ground
D           G
Stuck in a loop,
            F#
 watch the curtain
       G
come down

[Chorus]
D                G
Thought it'd be over
by now
D                  G
Thought you would leave
D                G
Thought I would come

        F#  G
 to my senses
D            Gm
Wish I was stronger
   Bm
somehow
          Gsus4 G
Wish it was easy
G            D/F#
Somewhere I lost
        F#m  G
all my senses
G         D/F#
I wish I knew
          F#m    G
what the end is

[Interlude]
D G D G D G F# G

[Verse 2]
D         G
Over and over,
  D           G
 watch it all pass
D             G
Mom's getting older,
      F#             G
 I'm wanting it back
D                G
Where no one is dying,
      D         G
 and no one is hurt
D                G
And I have been good
                   F#
to you instead of making
         G
 it worse

How to play Older: key, chords and progression

These are Older chords by Lizzy McAlpine on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Older by Lizzy McAlpine is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 8 chords: D, G, F#, Gm, Bm, Gsus4, D/F# and F#m.

Most of the song cycles through G – D – G – F# (IV – I – IV – III in D major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – mi. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F#, Gm, Bm and F#m are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
