[Verse 1]
C Em
Make sure nobody sees you leave
Am
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
G
Tell your friends you’re out for a run
C
You’ll be flushed when you return
Em
Take the road less traveled by
Am
Tell yourself you can always stop
G
What started in beautiful rooms
C
Ends with meetings in parking lots
[Chorus]
And that’s the thing about illicit affairs
Em
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
Am
It’s born from just one single glance
G
But it dies and it dies and it dies
C
A million little times
[Verse 2]
C Em
Leave the perfume on the shelf
Am
That you picked out just for him
G
So you leave no trace behind
C
Like you don’t even exist
Em
Take the words for what they are
Am
A dwindling, mercurial high
G
A drug that only worked
C
The first few hundred times
[Chorus]
And that’s the thing about illicit affairs
Em
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
Am
They show their truth one single time
G
But they lie and they lie and they lie
C
A million little times
[Verse 3]
And you wanna scream
C
Don’t call me “kid,” don’t call me “baby”
Em
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
Am G
You showed me colors you know I can’t see with anyone else
C
Don’t call me “kid,” don’t call me “baby”
Em
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
Am G
You taught me a secret language I can’t speak with anyone else
C Am
And you know damn well
Em G
For you, I would ruin myself
C
A million little times
[Verse 1]
C Em
Make sure nobody sees you leave
