♫ Intro:


C Fsus2 Am7 Gsus4

♫ Verse:

C   Fsus2       Am7  Gsus4
 I washed my hands of us at the club
C   Fsus2     Am7 Gsus4
 You made a mess of me
C   Fsus2          Am7    Gsus4
 I pictured you with other girls in love
C    Fsus2       Am7 Gsus4
 Then threw up on the street
C   Fsus2      Am7 Gsus4
 Like waiting for a bus that never shows
C   Fsus2     Am7  Gsus4
 You just start walking on
C   Fsus2        Am7   Gsus4
 They say that if it's right, you know
C   Fsus2
 Each bar plays our song
 Am7       Gsus4
 Nothing has ever felt so wrong

♫ Chorus:

C
Oh my, love is a lie
Fsus2
Shit my friends say to get me by
C        Fsus2
It hits different, it hits different this time
Am7
Catastrophic blues
Gsus4           Fsus2
Moving on was always easy for me to do
       Gsus4
It hits different, it hits different 'cause it's you
C  Fsus2  Am7  Gsus4
   ('Cause it's you)


♫ Refrain:
C    C/B
 My, my, my, my
Am7    Gsus4
  My, my, my, my
C    C/B
 My, my, my, my
Fsus4    Gsus4
   My, my, my, my


♫ Verse:
C
 I dress to kill my time
C/B
 I take the long way home
Am7              Gsus4
 I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, They say, "I don't know"
C
 And what once was ours
C/B
 Is no one's now
Fsus4             Gsus4
 I see you everywhere, the only thing we share Is this small town
C
 You said it was a great love
C/B
 One for the ages
Fsus4
 But if the story's over,
     Gsus4
 why am I still writing pages?



♫ Chorus:
C         C/B        Am7
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
 Gsus4
Flashbacks waking me up
Fsus2        Am7
I get drunk, but it's not enough
     Fsus4          Gsus4
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C      C/B          Am7
I look through the windows of this love
Gsus4
Even though we boarded them up
Fsus2      Am7
Chandelier still flickering here
Fsus4           Gsus4
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's
C  Gsus4
not
           Fsus2    Gsus4
It's death by a thousand cuts

Mega ♫ Bridge:

C    Fsus2         Am7        Gsus4
 I find the artifacts, cried over a hat, cursed the space that I needed
C    Fsus2       Am7           Gsus4
 I trace the evidence, make it make some sense, why the wound is still bleeding
C  Fsus2             Am7              Gsus4
 You were the one that I loved, don't need another metaphor it's simple enough
 C       Fsus2
 A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes
 Am7          Gsus4
 This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
C  Fsus2     Am7       Gsus4        C
 Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief
Fsus2   Am7       Gsus4          C
 In the good in the world, you once believed in me
Fsus2  Am7      Gsus4        C
 And I felt you and I held you for a while
   Fsus2             Am7         Gsus4
 Bet I could still melt your world, argumentative, antithetical dream girl

C                Gsus4
 My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                    Fsus2
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                Gsus4
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                     C
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

                Gsus4
Our songs, our films, united we stand
                  Fsus4
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                  Gsus4
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hand
                   C*
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans

N.C.              Gsus4
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                    Fsus2
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                 Gsus4
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
                     C  C/B  Am7  Gsus4
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts


C Fsus2 Am7 Gsus4

♫ Verse:
C    Fsus2         Am7      Gsus4
  I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
C    Fsus2       Am7   Gsus4
  Is that your key in the door? Is it okay?
C  Fsus2
  Is it you?
Am7  Gsus4         C  Fsus2
 Or have they come to take me away?
Am7    Gsus4
   To take me awayyyyyyy


♫ Chorus:
Fsus2
Shit my friends say to get me by
C       Fsus2
It hits different, it hits different this time
Am7
Catastrophic blues
Gsus4            Fsus2
Moving on was always easy for me to do
        Gsus4
It hits different, it hits different 'cause-

♫ Chorus:
C         C/B        Am7
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
 Gsus4
Flashbacks waking me up
Fsus2        Am7
I get drunk, but it's not enough
     Fsus4          Gsus4
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C      C/B          Am7
I look through the windows of this love
Gsus4
Even though we boarded them up
Fsus2      Am7
Chandelier still flickering here
    Fsus2      Gsus4       C        Gsus4
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no, it's not
            Fsus2   Gsus4
It's death by a thousand cuts



♫ Post-Chorus:
                      C
Oh, Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
      Gsus4
My body, my love
  Fsus2
My trust
       Gsus4
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no

♫ Outro:
C
 I dress to kill my time
C/B
 I take the long way home
Am7              Gsus4               C
 I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, They say, "I don't know."
