When I Was Older Chords & Lyrics - Billie Eilish

[INTRO]
Bmadd9 [F#7] [Gmaj7] [F#7]

[CHORUS]
Bmadd9 F#7
When I was older
I was a s[Gmaj7]ailor
On an open s[F#7]ea
Bmadd9 F#7
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is p[Gmaj7]aler
Than it should ever [F#7]be
Bmadd9
Mhm

[VERSE]
Bmadd9 F#7
I'm on my back again

Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and [Gmaj7]I remain the best of friends
Even after all this end[F#7]s

Can we pretend?
Bmadd9
I'm on my—
I'm on my back [F#7]again

It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever [Gmaj7]do is see how far it bends
Before it breaks in half and th[F#7]en

We bend it back again

[PRE-CHORUS]
Bmadd9
Guess I got caught in the middle of it

Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my bl[F#7]ood, in my blood
[Gmaj7]Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to [F#7]mud
In the flood

[CHORUS]
Bmadd9 F#7
When I was older
I was a s[Gmaj7]ailor
On an open s[F#7]ea
Bmadd9 F#7
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is p[Gmaj7]aler
Than it should ever [F#7]be

[BRIDGE]
Bmadd9
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]
Bmadd9 F#7
When I was older
I was a s[Gmaj7]ailor
On an open s[F#7]ea
