Chandelier's still flickering here
          DmDm                 G+G                C majorC  G6G6
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
Gsus4Gsus4                     Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
It's death by a thousand cuts

Verse 1:
C majorC                        C/BC/B
I dress to kill my time
I take the long way home
A minorAm                                Gsus4Gsus4
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
                   C majorC
They say, "I don't know"
                      C/BC/B
And what once was ours is no one's now
A minorAm                             Gsus4Gsus4
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
                  C majorC
Is this small town
                             C/BC/B
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
Fmaj7Fmaj7                              G6G6
But if the story’s over, why am I still writing pages?


Chorus:

C majorC                 C/BC/B                 A minorAm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
              Gsus4Gsus4
Flashbacks waking me up
Fmaj7Fmaj7                 Am7Am7
I get drunk, but it's not enough
              DmDm                     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
               Gsus4Gsus4
Even though we boarded them up
Fmaj7Fmaj7               Am7Am7
Chandelier's still flickering here
          DmDm                 G+G                C majorC  G6G6
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
Gsus4Gsus4                     Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
It's death by a thousand cuts


Verse 2:
C majorC                              Gsus4Gsus4
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                                Fsus2Fsus2
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                               Gsus4Gsus4
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                                         C majorC
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
                                Gsus4Gsus4
Our songs, our films, united we stand
                                    Fsus2Fsus2
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                                      Gsus4Gsus4
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
                                      C*
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
                                Gsus4Gsus4
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                                   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                                Gsus4Gsus4
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
                                          C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm  Gsus4Gsus4
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts


Chorus:
Fmaj7Fmaj7                 Am7Am7         DmDm
I get drunk, but it's not enough
              Gsus4Gsus4
'Cause you're not my baby
C majorC                 C/BC/B                A minorAm
I look through the windows of this love
               Gsus4Gsus4
Even though we boarded them up
Fmaj7Fmaj7               Am7Am7
Chandelier's still flickering here

          DmDm                 G+G                C majorC
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
         G6G6
No, it's not
Gsus4Gsus4                     Fmaj7Fmaj7
It's death by a thousand cuts (You didn't touch)


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


Outro:
C/BC/B  A minorAm  Gsus4Gsus4  Fmaj7Fmaj7

          Am7Am7                      DmDm
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
           G+G             C majorC
They say, "I don't know"
