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 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"
