Death By A Thousand Cuts

capo: 4th fret

[intro]

My, my, my, my ( my, my, my, my )
My, my, my, my ( my, my, my, my )

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

[chorus (1)]

C
Saying goodbye
G Am
Is death by a thousand cuts
C
Flashbacks waking me up
F Am
i get drunk but it’s not enough
Dm
‘Cause the morning comes
G
And you’re not my baby

C
i look through
G Am
The windows of this love
C
Even though we boarded them up
F Am
chandelier still flickering here
Dm
‘Cause i can’t pretend
G C
It’s okay when it’s not
G Em F G
it’s death by a thousand cuts

[verse (1)]

C G
i dress to kill my time
Em
I take the long way home
F
i ask the traffic lights
G
If it’ll be alright they say, “I don’t know”
C
and what once was ours
G F
is no one’s now, i see you everywhere
G
The only thing we share is this small town
C G
you said it was a great love
F
One for the ages, but if the story’s over
G
Why am i still writing pages?

[chorus (2)]

C
‘Cause saying goodbye
G Am
Is death by a thousand cuts
C
Flashbacks waking me up
F Am
i get drunk, but it’s not enough
Dm
‘Cause the morning comes
G
And you’re not my baby

[bridge]

C G
my heart, my hips, my body, my love
Em 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
Em F
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
G
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hands
C
Paper cut stains from our paper-thin plans

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

G Am G

[chorus (3)]

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

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

[outro]

C G Am C
i take the long way home
F Am
i ask the traffic lights
Dm
If it’ll be alright
G
They say, “I don’t know”
