When I Was Older by Billie Eilish
When I Was Older
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: G
[Intro]
Bmadd9 F#7 Gmaj7 F#7
[Chorus]
Bmadd9 F#7
When I was older
Gmaj7
I was a sailor
F#7
On an open sea
Bmadd9 F#7
But now I'm underwater
Gmaj7
And my skin is paler
F#7
Than it should ever be
Bmadd9
Mhm
[Verse]
Bmadd9 F#7
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Gmaj7
Where you and I remain the best of friends
F#7
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
Bmadd9
I'm on my—
F#7
I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Gmaj7
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]
Bmadd9
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
F#7
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]
Bmadd9 F#7
When I was older
Gmaj7
I was a sailor
F#7
On an open sea
Bmadd9 F#7
But now I'm underwater
Gmaj7
And my skin is paler
F#7
Than it should ever 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
Gmaj7
I was a sailor
F#7
On an open sea

When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
Hmm
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see how far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then
We bend it back again
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood
When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
I'm goin' over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah
When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
