INTRO:  Bb Gm Eb Bb F

VERSE ONE:
Bb                           Gm
Make sure nobody sees you leave
Gm                                  Eb
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
Eb                                 Bb
Tell your friends you're out for a run
F                 Bb
You’ll be flushed when you return


Bb                           Gm
Take the road less traveled by
Gm                             Eb
Tell yourself you can always stop
Eb                           F
What started in beautiful rooms
F                               Bb 
Ends with meetings in parking lots

CHORUS:
Bb/D                             Eb
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
F
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
Bb/D                   Eb
It's born from just one single glance
F
But it dies and it dies and it dies
Bb
A million little times

VERSE TWO:
Bb                          Gm
Leave the perfume on the shelf
Gm                            Eb
That you picked out just for him
Eb                          Bb/D 
So you leave no trace behind
F           Bb
Like you don’t even exist
Bb 
Take the words for what they are
Gm                         Eb
A dwindling, mercurial high
Eb
A drug that only worked
F                      Bb/D
The first few hundred times



CHORUS:
Bb/D                          Eb
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
F
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
Bb/D                      Eb 
They show their truth one single time
F 
But they lie and they lie and they lie
Bb 
A million little times

VERSE THREE:

And you wanna scream
Bb
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
Gm
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
Eb                                              F
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
Bb
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
Gm
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
Eb                                                   F 
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
Gm     F   Eb 
And you know damn well
F
For you, I would ruin myself
Bb
A million little times
