Billie Eilish – When I Was Older Chords

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, hmm

I’m watching movies back to back.
In black and white, I never
seen anybody do it like I do it any better
Then going over you, I’m, overdue for no 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
