Illicit Affairs chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 6)

• Capo on 3rd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Intro:
G Em7 Cadd9 G/B D  (with Thumb)


Verse 1:
G
Make sure nobody sees you leave
Em7
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
Cadd9
Tell your friends you’re out for a run
G/B             D
You’ll be flushed when you return
G

Take the road less traveled by
Em7
Tell yourself you can always stop
Cadd9
What started in beautiful rooms
G/B          D
Ends with meetings in parking lots


Chorus:
G                           Cadd9
And that’s the thing about illicit affairs
         Em7                 D
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
Em7                       Cadd9
It’s born from just one single glance
       D                    D
But it dies and it dies and it dies
          G
A million little times


Verse 2:
G
Leave the perfume on the shelf
Em7
That you picked out just for him
Cadd9
So you leave no trace behind
G/B            D
Like you don’t even exist
G
Take the words for what they are
Em7
A dwindling, mercurial high
Cadd9            G/B
A drug that only worked
D
The first few hundred times


Chorus:
G                           Cadd9
And that’s the thing about illicit affairs
         Em7                 D
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
Em7                       Cadd9
It’s born from just one single glance
       D                    D
But it dies and it dies and it dies
          G
A million little times


Bridge:
D
And you wanna scream
G
Don’t call me "kid," don’t call me "baby"
Em7
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
Cadd9
You showed me colors you know I can’t see
D
with anyone else
G
Don’t call me "kid," don’t call me "baby"
Em7
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
Cadd9
You taught me a secret language I can’t speak
D
with anyone else


Outro:
        Em* D*  C*
And you know damn well
                  Em7* G* C*
For you, I would ruin myself
     G
A million little times
