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

🎸 Chorus 1:
    C majorC         C/BC/B         A minorAm

 I get drunk but it's not enough

'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

What a shame, didn't want to be the one that got away
C majorC   FF   A minorAm       G+G
Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise
     C majorC   FF        A minorAm G+G
that you never should have made

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
C majorC     FF
 I'm here on the kitchen floor
A minorAm       G+G
 You call, but I won't hear it
C majorC      FF
 You said, "No one else"
A minorAm       G+G    C majorC  FF A minorAm
 How could you do this, babe?

🎸 Chorus 2:

 You really blew this, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

🎸 Bridge:
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
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hand
                   C majorC
Paper cut stings from our 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 too 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 1:
FF           A minorAm
 I get drunk but it's not enough

 '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's still flickering here
     DmDm      Gsus4Gsus4 G+G       C majorC
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
      C/BC/B
No, it's not
        E minorEm    FF  G+G
It's death by a thousand cuts
