Intro
G C G
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
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
G D
My, my, my, my
Em G
My, my, my, my
C Em
My, my, my, my
Am D
My, my, my, my
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?
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
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
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
