Billie Eilish - WHEN I WAS OLDER

[intro]
Bm  F#7  Gmaj7  F#7

Bm             F#7            Gmaj7              F#7
   When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
Bm                   F#7                   Gmaj7                      F#7
   But now I'm underwater, and my skin is paler, than it should ever be
     Bm
Mmm-hmmm

[verse 1]
Bm                 F#7
   I'm on my back again
                                           Gmaj7
Dreaming of a time and place where you and I remain the best of friends
                       F#7
Even after all this ends, can we pretend?

Bm                            F#7
   I'm on my, I'm on my back again
                                             Gmaj7
It's seeming more and more like all we ever do is see how far it bends
                                F#7
Before it breaks in half and then, we bend it back again

[pre-chorus]
Bm
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
                                               F#7
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it in my blood, in my blood
Gmaj7
Memories burn like a forest fire
                                     F#7
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud, in the flood

[chorus]
Bm             F#7            Gmaj7              F#7
   When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
Bm                   F#7                   Gmaj7                      F#7
   But now I'm underwater, and my skin is paler, than it should ever be

[bridge]
Bm
   I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never

   Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
F#7
   Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors

   Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
Gmaj7
   You'd really like it in the limelight

   You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
F#7
   I'm still a victim in my own right

   But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah

[outro]
Bm             F#7            Gmaj7              F#7
   When I was older, I was a sailor, on an open sea
