[Intro]

N.C.
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
N.C.
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)

C            G
   My, my, my, my
Am         G
   My, my, my, my
F             Am
   My, my, my, my
Dm           G
   My, my, my, my

[Chorus 1]

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

C                            G                       Am
   I look through the windows of this love
                          G
Even though we boarded them up
F                          Am
   Chandelier still flickering here
              Dm                G                         C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
G                                       F     G
   It's death by a thousand cuts

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 2]

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

C                            G                   Am
   I look through the windows of this love
                          G
Even though we boarded them up
F                          Am
   Chandelier still flickering here
             Dm                G                               C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
G                                       F     G
   It's death by a thousand cuts

[Verse 2]

C                                                    G
   My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                                                             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

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

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

[Chorus 3]

F                                Am
   I get drunk, but it's not enough
Dm                       G
   'Cause you're not my baby
C                              G                       Am
   I look through the windows of this love
                          G
Even though we boarded them up
F                          Am
   Chandelier still flickering here
             Dm                 G                           C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
G                                       F    G
   It's death by a thousand cuts  (you didn't touch)

[Post-Chorus]

                                                            C
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                     G                                                F
My body, my love, my trust (it's death by a thousand cuts)
                      G
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no

[Outro]

C G Am              G
             I take the long way home
F                Am                       Dm
   I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
                G       N.C.
They say, "I don't know"
