Death By A Thousand Cuts
[intro]
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
E B
My, my, my, my
C#m B
My, my, my, my
A C#m
My, my, my, my
F#m B
My, my, my, my
[chorus 1]
E B C#m
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
B
Flashbacks waking me up
A C#m
I get drunk, but it's not enough
F#m B
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
E B C#m
I look through the windows of this love
B
Even though we boarded them up
A C#m
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m B E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
B A B
It's death by a thousand cuts
[verse 1]
E B 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 B 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 B 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 2]
E B C#m
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
B
Flashbacks waking me up
A C#m
I get drunk, but it's not enough
F#m B
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
E B C#m
I look through the windows of this love
B
Even though we boarded them up
A C#m
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m B E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
B A B
It's death by a thousand cuts
[verse 2]
E B
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
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
B
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
A
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
B
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
E
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
B
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
A
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
B
Gave you too much, but it wasn't enough
E B C#m B
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
[chorus 3]
A C#m
I get drunk, but it's not enough
F#m B
'Cause you're not my baby
E B C#m
I look through the windows of this love
B
Even though we boarded them up
A C#m
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m B E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
B 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
B 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 B C#m B
I take the long way home
A C#m F#m
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
B
They say, "I don't know"
