[Intro]
N.C.
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
N.C.
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
E E/D#
My, my, my, my
C#m E
My, my, my, my
A C#m
My, my, my, my
F#m Bsus4 B
My, my, my, my
[Chorus 1]
E E/D# C#m
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
E
Flashbacks waking me up
A C#m
I get drunk, but it's not enough
F#m Bsus4 B
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
E E/D# C#m
I look through the windows of this love
E
Even though we boarded them up
A C#m
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m Bsus4 B E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
E/D# G#m A B
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse]
E E/D# G#m A
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
B
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"
E E/D# G#m A
And what once was ours, is no one's now
B
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
E E/D# G#m A
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
B
But if the story's over, why Am I still writing pages?
[Chorus]
E E/D# C#m
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
E
Flashbacks waking me up
A C#m
I get drunk, but it's not enough
F#m Bsus4 B
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
E E/D# C#m
I look through the windows of this love
E
Even though we boarded them up
A C#m
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m Bsus4 B E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
E/D# G#m A B
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Bridge]
E E/D#
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
G#m A
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
B
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
E
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
E/D#
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
G#m A
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
B
Why are my fears at the touch of your hands?
E
Paper cut stains from my paper-thin plans
E/D#
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
G#m A
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
B
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
E E/D# C#m B
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
[Alt Chorus]
A C#m
I get drunk, but it's not enough
F#m Bsus4 B
'Cause you're not my baby
E E/D# C#m
I look through the windows of this love
E
Even though we boarded them up
A C#m
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m Bsus4 B E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
E/D# G#m A B
It's death by a thousand cuts (you didn't touch)
[Post-Chorus]
E
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
E/D# G#m A
My body, my love, my trust (it's death by a thousand cuts)
B
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
[Outro]
E E/D# C#m E
I take the long way home
A C#m F#m
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
Bsus4 B N.C.
They say, "I don't know"
