Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Bb Gm7 Bb/Eb F

Verse 1:
Bb                           Gm7
Make sure nobody sees you leave
                                    Bb/Eb
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
                                 Bb(add2)/D
Tell your friends you're out for a run
          F
You’ll be flushed when you return
Bb                         Gm7
Take the road less traveled by
                              Bb/Eb
Tell yourself you can always stop
                          Bb(add2)/D
What started in beautiful rooms
          F
Ends with meetings in parking lots

Chorus:
Bb(add2)/D                        Bb/Eb
And that's the tBb(add2)/Dng about illicit affairs
    F                        Bb
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
     Bb(add2)/D                Bb/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 2:
Bb                       Gm7
Leave the perfume on the shelf
                             Bb/Eb
That you picked out just for Bb(add2)/Dm
                       Bb(add2)/D
So you leave no trace beBb(add2)/Dnd
         F
Like you don’t even exist
Bb                           Gm7
Take the words for what they are
                       Bb/Eb
A dwindling, mercurial Bb(add2)/Dgh
                 Bb(add2)/D
A drug that only worked
    F
The first few hundred times


Chorus:
Bb(add2)/D                        Bb/Eb
And that's the tBb(add2)/Dng about illicit affairs
    F                        Bb
And clandestine meetings and  stolen stares
     Bb(add2)/D                Bb/Eb
They show their truth one single time
       F
But they lie and they lie and they lie
  Bb
A million little times


Verse 3:
                    Bb
And you wanna scream
Bb
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
Gm7
Look at tBb(add2)/Ds godforsaken mess that you made me
Bb/Eb                       Bb(add2)/D                   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"
Gm7
Look at tBb(add2)/Ds idiotic fool that you made me
Bb/Eb                     Bb(add2)/D                         F
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
        Gm7  Bb   Bb/Eb
And you know damn well
                 F
For you, I would ruin myself
Bb
A million little times
