[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Bm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
A
Flashbacks waking me up
G D
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Em A
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
D Dmaj7 Bm
I look through the windows of this love
A
Even though we boarded them up
G D
Chandelier still flickering here
Em A D Dmaj7
'Cause I can’t pretend it's okay when it's not
G A
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
G A
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
D Dmaj7
And what once was ours is no one's now
G A
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
D Dmaj7
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
G A
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Bm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
A
Flashbacks waking me up
G D
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Em A
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
D Dmaj7 Bm
I look through the windows of this love
A
Even though we boarded them up
G D
Chandelier still flickering here
Em A D Dmaj7
'Cause I can’t pretend it's okay when it's not
G A
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
G
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
A
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
D
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Dmaj7
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
G
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
A
Why are my fears at the touch of your hands?
D
Paper cut stains from my paper-thin plans
Dmaj7
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
G
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
A
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
D Dmaj7 Bm A
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
[Chorus]
G D
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Em A
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
D Dmaj7 Bm
I look through the windows of this love
A
Even though we boarded them up
G D
Chandelier still flickering here
Em A D Dmaj7
'Cause I can’t pretend it's okay when it's not
G A
It's death by a thousand cuts
[Post-Chorus]
D
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Dmaj7 G
My body, my love, my trust (It's death by a thousand cuts)
A
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
[Outro]
D Dmaj7 Bm A
I take the long way home
G D Em
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
A G D
They say, "I don't know"
