C  C/B
Am C
F  Am
Dm Gsus4 G

🎸 Chorus 1:
C         C/B         Am
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      C
Flashbacks waking me up
F           Am
 I get drunk but it's not enough
      Dm            Gsus4 G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

C          C/B       Am
 I look through the windows of this love
        C
Even though we boarded them up
F          Am
 Chandelier's still flickering here
     Dm      Gsus4 G       C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

C/B       Em    F  G
 It's death by a thousand cuts

🎸 Verse 1:
C            C/B          Em
 I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
F                 G           N.C.
 I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say "I don't know"
C           C/B      Em
 And what once was ours, is no one's now
F                G
 I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
C              C/B        Em
 You said it was a great love, one for the ages
F                 G
 But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?

🎸 Chorus 1:
    C         C/B         Am
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      C
Flashbacks waking me up
F           Am
 I get drunk but it's not enough
      Dm            Gsus4 G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

C          C/B       Am
 I look through the windows of this love
        C
Even though we boarded them up
F          Am
 Chandelier's still flickering here
     Dm      Gsus4 G       C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

No, it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

🎸 Verse 2:
C   F   Am       G        C  F  Am G
What a shame, didn't want to be the one that got away
C   F   Am       G
Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise
     C   F        Am G
that you never should have made

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
C     F
 I'm here on the kitchen floor
Am       G
 You call, but I won't hear it
C      F
 You said, "No one else"
Am       G    C  F Am
 How could you do this, babe?

🎸 Chorus 2:
G           C  F
 You really blew this, babe
Am        G         C  F
We ain't getting through this one, babe
Am        G            C  F F
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

🎸 Bridge:
C                C/B
 My heart, my hips, my body, my love
               Em     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

                C/B
Our songs, our films, united we stand
              Em   F
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                  G
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hand
                   C
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans

                C/B
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
              Em     F
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                 G
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
                     C  C/B Am G
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts

🎸 Chorus 1:
F           Am
 I get drunk but it's not enough
Dm       Gsus4 G
 'Cause you're not my baby
C          C/B       Am
 I look through the windows of this love
        C
Even though we boarded them up
F          Am
 Chandelier's still flickering here
     Dm      Gsus4 G       C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
      C/B
No, it's not
        Em    F  G
It's death by a thousand cuts

🎸 Post-Chorus:
Am       G    C  F Am G
 How could you do this, babe?
G                    C
 Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
      C/B
My body, my love, my trust
Am       G    C  F Am G
 How could you do this, babe?
Am       G
 How could you do this?

🎸 Outro:
C C/B Am      C
     I take the long way home
F     Am           Dm
 I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
     Gsus4 G   C
They say "I   don't know"
