Key: C

Intro:

G C  G


Verse:
G      C      G
  I washed my hands of us at the club
G      C     G
  You made a mess of me
G    C       G
  I pictured you with other girls in love
G       C     G
  Then threw up on the street
G     C     G
  Like waiting for a bus, that never shows
G      C       G
  You just start walking on
G      C      G
  They say that if it's right, you know
G     C      G
  Each bar plays our song
D
Nothing has ever felt so wrong


Chorus:
G
Oh my, love is a lie
C                G
Shit my friends say to get me by
         C
It hits different, it hits different this time
Em
Catastrophic blues
C                Am
Moving on was always easy for me to do
         D
It hits different, it hits different 'cause it's you
G C  G
    'Cause it's you
G C  G


Refrain:
G    D
 My, my, my, my
Em    G
  My, my, my, my
C    Em
 My, my, my, my
Am    D
  My, my, my
my


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


Chorus:
    G         D          Em
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      G
Flashbacks waking me up
C            Em
 I get drunk, but it's not enough
      Am            D
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
G          D        Em
 I look through the windows of this love
        G
Even though we boarded them up
C         Em
 Chandelier still flickering here
     Am      D          G
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
      D
No its not
        Bm    C  D
It's death by a thousand cuts
                    G
Trynna find a part of me that you didnt touch


Bridge:
G     C       G
  I find the artifacts, cried over a hat, cursed the space that I needed
G     C       G
  I trace the evidence, make it make some sense, why the wound is still bleeding
G     C          G
   You were the one that I loved, don't need another metaphor it's simple enough
 G        C            G
A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes
G
This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
G   C    G
Dreams   of your hair and your stare and sense of belief
C     G
    In the good in the world, you once believed in me
C      G
    And I felt you and I held you for a while
   C           G
Bet I could still melt your world, argumentative, antithetical dream girl

G                D
 My heart, my hips, my body, my love
               Bm     C
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                D
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                     G
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

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

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


G C G D


Verse:
G     C       G          D
  I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
G     C    G         D
  Is that your key in the door? Is it okay?
G C   G
  Is it you?
           G    C
Or have they come to take me away?
G
    To take me awayyyyyyy


Chorus:
C                G
Shit my friends say to get me by
         C
It hits different, it hits different this time
Em
Catastrophic blues
C                Am
Moving on was always easy for me to do
         D
It hits different, it hits different 'cause it's you
G
Oh my, love is a lie
C                G
Shit my friends say to get me by (It hits different 'cause it's you)
C
('Cause it's you)
Em
Catastrophic blues
C                Am
Moving on was always easy for me to do
         D
It hits different, it hits different 'cause-


Chorus:
G         D          Em
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
      G
Flashbacks waking me up
C            Em
 I get drunk, but it's not enough
      Am            D
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

G          D        Em
 I look through the windows of this love
        G
Even though we boarded them up
C         Em
 Chandelier still flickering here
     Am      D          G
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
      D
No its not
        Bm    C  D
It's death by a thousand cuts


Post-Chorus:
                      G
No, trynna find a part of me that you didnt touch
      D       Bm C
My body, my love, my trust
        D
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no


Outro:
G            D           Bm  C
 I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
                 D               G*
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"
