🎸 Chorus 1:
C                 C/B                 Am
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           C
Flashbacks waking me up
F                     Am
 I get drunk but it's not enough
           Dm                       Gsus4  G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

C                   C/B             Am
 I look through the windows of this love
               C
Even though we boarded them up
F                   Am
 Chandelier's still flickering here
         Dm           Gsus4 G              C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

C/B              Em       F   G
 It's death by a thousand cuts

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

🎸 Chorus 1:
       C                 C/B                 Am
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           C
Flashbacks waking me up
F                     Am
 I get drunk but it's not enough
           Dm                       Gsus4  G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

C                   C/B             Am
 I look through the windows of this love
               C
Even though we boarded them up
F                   Am
 Chandelier's still flickering here
         Dm           Gsus4 G              C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
         C/B
No, it's not
                Em       F    G
It's death by a thousand cuts

🎸 Verse 2:
C      F      Am             G               C    F   Am G
What a shame, didn't want to be the one that got away
C      F     Am             G
Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise
         C     F               Am G
that you never should have made

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

🎸 Chorus 2:
G                      C   F
 You really blew this, babe
Am               G                 C   F
We ain't getting through this one, babe
Am               G                        C   F F
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

🎸 Bridge:
C                               C/B
 My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                             Em         F
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

                                C/B
Our songs, our films, united we stand
                            Em      F
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                                    G
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hand
                                     C
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans

                                C/B
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                            Em          F
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                                 G
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
                                         C    C/B Am G
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts

🎸 Chorus 1:
F                     Am
 I get drunk but it's not enough
Dm             Gsus4  G
 'Cause you're not my baby
C                   C/B             Am
 I look through the windows of this love
               C
Even though we boarded them up
F                   Am
 Chandelier's still flickering here
         Dm           Gsus4 G              C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
            C/B
No, it's not
                Em       F   G
It's death by a thousand cuts

🎸 Post-Chorus:
Am             G        C    F Am G
 How could you do this, babe?
G                                        C
 Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
            C/B
My body, my love, my trust
Am             G        C    F Am G
 How could you do this, babe?
Am             G
 How could you do this?

🎸 Outro:
C C/B Am            C
         I take the long way home
F          Am                      Dm
 I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
          Gsus4 G     C
They say "I     don't know"
