Intro:

C C/B Am7 G
C C/B Fsus4 G

Chorus:
C                  C/B                 Am7
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
              G
Flashbacks waking me up
C                      C/B
I get drunk, but it's not enough
             Fsus4                   G
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C                     C/B           Am7
I look through the windows of this love
                   G
Even though we boarded them up
C                     C/B
Chandelier's still flickering here
         Fsus4               G              C     G
’Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
                          F    G
It's death by a thousand cuts

Verse 1:
C                        C/B
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
Am7                               G
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

They say, "I don't know"
C                     C/B
And what once was ours is no one's now
Fsus4                            G
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share

Is this small town
C                             C/B
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
Fsus4                               G
But if the story’s over, why am I still writing pages?


Chorus:
C                          C/B                Am7
’Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
             G
Flashbacks waking me up
C                      C/B
I get drunk, but it's not enough
             Fsus4                   G
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C                    C/B            Am7
I look through the windows of this love
                  G
Even though we boarded them up
C                     C/B
Chandelier's still flickering here
         Fsus4               G              C     G
'Cause I can’t pretend it's okay when it's not
                           F   G
It's death by a thousand cuts


Verse 2:
C                               G
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                                        Fsus4
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                                 G
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                                           C
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
                                  G
Our songs, our films, united we stand
                                    Fsus4
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                                        G
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
                                        C
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
                                  G
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                                         Fsus4
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                                   G
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
                                            C  C/B  Am7  G
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts


Chorus:
C                   C/B
I get drunk, but it's not enough
 Am7                  G
'Cause you're not my baby
C                     C/B          Fsus4
I look through the windows of this love
            G
Even though we boarded them up
C                      C/B
Chandelier's still flickering here
         Fsus4              G              C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
          G
No, it's not
                          F     G
It's death by a thousand cuts (You didn't touch)


Post-Chorus:
                                          C
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
              G      Fsus4
My body, my love, my trust (It's death by a thousand cuts)
                G
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no

I take the long way home
C            C/B                      Fsus4
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
