Chorus:
C majorC         Gsus/B       A minorAm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      GsusGsus     FF
Flashbacks waking me up
           E minorEm
I get drunk, but it's not enough
      FF            GsusGsus
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C majorC         Gsus/B     A minorAm
I look through the windows of this love
        GsusGsus      FF
Even though we boarded them up
          E minorEm
Chandelier's still flickering here
     FF       GsusGsus        C majorC   GsusGsus
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
             FF  GsusGsus C majorC

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

Chorus:
C majorC         Gsus/B       A minorAm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      GsusGsus     FF
Flashbacks waking me up
           E minorEm
I get drunk, but it's not enough
      FF            GsusGsus
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C majorC         Gsus/B     A minorAm
I look through the windows of this love
        GsusGsus      FF
Even though we boarded them up
          E minorEm
Chandelier's still flickering here
     FF       GsusGsus        C majorC   GsusGsus
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
             FF  Gsus*** C majorC
It's death by a thousand cuts


Verse 2:
(C majorC)              GsusGsus
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                    FF
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                GsusGsus
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                       C majorC
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
                GsusGsus
Our songs, our films, united we stand
                  FF
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                   GsusGsus
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
                     C*
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
                GsusGsus
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                    FF
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                GsusGsus
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
                     C majorC Gsus/B A minorAm GsusGsus FF
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts


Chorus:
           E minorEm    FF
I get drunk, but it's not enough
       GsusGsus
'Cause you're not my baby
C majorC         Gsus/B     A minorAm
I look through the windows of this love
        GsusGsus      FF
Even though we boarded them up
          E minorEm
Chandelier's still flickering here
     FF       GsusGsus        C majorC
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
    GsusGsus
No it’s not
             FF  GsusGsus
It's death by a thousand cuts


Post-Chorus:
              C majorC
Part of me that you didn't touch
     GsusGsus     FF
My body, my love, my trust
         GsusGsus             C majorC Gsus/B A minorAm
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no


Outro:
(A minorAm)     GsusGsus   FF
I take the long way home
                 GsusGsus
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
          C*
They say, "I don't know"
