[CHORUS]
E                  Emaj7              C#m
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
B
Flashbacks waking me up
A                   E/Ab
I get drunk, but it's not enough
F#m                     B
’Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
E                    Emaj7          C#m
I look through the windows of this love
B
Even though we boarded them up
A                  E/Ab
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m                B              E Emaj7
'Cause I can’t pretend it's okay when it's not
A  B
It's death by a thousand cuts
[VERSE 1]
E                       Emaj7
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
A                                   B
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
B                    E
They say, "I don't know"
E                      Emaj7
And what once was ours is no one's now
A                                B
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
B               E
Is this small town
E                            Emaj7
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
A                                   B
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?

[VERSE 2]
E
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Emaj7                                   A
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
A                               B
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
B                                          E
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
E                                    Emaj7
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
A
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
A                                       B
Why are my fears at the touch of your hands?
B                                     E
Paper cut stains from my paper-thin plans
E                                 Emaj7
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
A
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
A                                 B
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
B                                         E   Emaj7 C#m B 
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
[CHORUS]
As                   E/Ab      F#m
I get drunk, but it's not enough
B
'Cause you're not my baby
E                     Emaj7         C#m
I look through the windows of this love
B
Even though we boarded them up
A                    E/Ab
Chandelier still flickering here
F#m            B                     E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
E          Emaj7
No, it's not
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
Emaj7                                     A
My body, my love, my trust (It's death by a thousand cuts)
A                B                         E   Emaj7 C#m 
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
[OUTRO]
B
I take the long way home
A                E/Ab         F#m
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
B                   E
They say, "I don't know"
