[Intro]
N.C.
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
N.C.
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
C G
My, my, my, my
Am G
My, my, my, my
F Am
My, my, my, my
Dm G
My, my, my, my
[Chorus 1]
C G Am
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
G
Flashbacks waking me up
F Am
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Dm G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C G Am
I look through the windows of this love
G
Even though we boarded them up
F Am
Chandelier still flickering here
Dm G C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
G F G
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 1]
C G F
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
G
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"
C G F
And what once was ours, is no one's now
G
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
C G F
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
G
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
[Chorus 2]
C G Am
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
G
Flashbacks waking me up
F Am
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Dm G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C G Am
I look through the windows of this love
G
Even though we boarded them up
F Am
Chandelier still flickering here
Dm G C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
G F G
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 2]
C G
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
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
G
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
F
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
F
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
G
Gave you too much, but it wasn't enough
C G Am G
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
[Chorus 3]
F Am
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Dm G
'Cause you're not my baby
C G Am
I look through the windows of this love
G
Even though we boarded them up
F Am
Chandelier still flickering here
Dm G C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
G 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 F
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
[Outro]
C G Am G
I take the long way home
F Am Dm
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
G
N.C.
They say, "I don't know"
