INTRO: Bb Gm Eb Bb F VERSE ONE: Bb Gm Make sure nobody sees you leave Gm Eb Hood over your head, keep your eyes down Eb Bb Tell your friends you're out for a run F Bb You’ll be flushed when you return Bb Gm Take the road less traveled by Gm Eb Tell yourself you can always stop Eb F What started in beautiful rooms F Bb Ends with meetings in parking lots
CHORUS: Bb/D Eb And that's the thing about illicit affairs F And clandestine meetings and longing stares Bb/D Eb It's born from just one single glance F But it dies and it dies and it dies Bb A million little times VERSE TWO: Bb Gm Leave the perfume on the shelf Gm Eb That you picked out just for him Eb Bb/D So you leave no trace behind F Bb Like you don’t even exist Bb Take the words for what they are Gm Eb A dwindling, mercurial high Eb A drug that only worked F Bb/D The first few hundred times CHORUS: Bb/D Eb And that's the thing about illicit affairs F And clandestine meetings and stolen stares Bb/D Eb They show their truth one single time F But they lie and they lie and they lie Bb A million little times VERSE THREE: And you wanna scream Bb Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby" Gm Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me Eb F You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else Bb Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby" Gm Look at this idiotic fool that you made me Eb F You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else Gm F Eb And you know damn well F For you, I would ruin myself Bb A million little times
