Chorus 1:
C majorC         C/BC/B         A minorAm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      C majorC
Flashbacks waking me up
FF            A minorAm
 I get drunk, but it's not enough
      DmDm            Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

C majorC          C/BC/B       A minorAm
 I look through the windows of this love
        C majorC
Even though we boarded them up
FF         A minorAm
 Chandelier still flickering here
     DmDm      Gsus4Gsus4 G+G       C majorC
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
C/BC/B         E minorEm    FF  G+G
  It's death by a thousand cuts


Verse 1:
C majorC            C/BC/B          E minorEm  FF
 I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
                 G+G
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"
C majorC            C/BC/B      E minorEm  FF
 And what once was ours, is no one's now
                G+G
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
C majorC               C/BC/B        E minorEm  FF
 You said it was a great love, one for the ages
                 G+G
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?


Chorus 2:
    C majorC         C/BC/B         A minorAm
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      C majorC
Flashbacks waking me up
FF            A minorAm
 I get drunk, but it's not enough
      DmDm            Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

C majorC          C/BC/B       A minorAm
 I look through the windows of this love
        C majorC
Even though we boarded them up
FF         A minorAm
 Chandelier still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
C/BC/B         E minorEm    FF  G+G
  It's death by a thousand cuts


Verse 2:
C majorC                C/BC/B
 My heart, my hips, my body, my love
               E minorEm     FF
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                G+G
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                     C majorC
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

                 C/BC/B
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
              E minorEm   FF
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                   G+G
Why are my fears at the touch of your hands?
                  C majorC
Paper cut stains from my paper-thin plans

                C/BC/B
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
              E minorEm     FF
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                 G+G
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
                     C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm G+G
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts


Chorus 3:
FF            A minorAm
 I get drunk, but it's not enough
DmDm        Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
  'Cause you're not my baby
C majorC          C/BC/B       A minorAm
 I look through the windows of this love
        C majorC
Even though we boarded them up
FF         A minorAm
 Chandelier still flickering here
     DmDm      Gsus4Gsus4 G+G       C majorC
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
C/BC/B         E minorEm    FF  G+G
  It's death by a thousand cuts  (you didn't touch)


Post-Chorus:
                    C majorC
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
      C/BC/B               E minorEm    FF
My body, my love, my trust (it's death by a thousand cuts)
        G+G
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no


Outro:
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm      C majorC
      I take the long way home
FF      A minorAm           DmDm
 I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
      Gsus4Gsus4 G+G   N.C.
They say, "I   don't know"
