Chorus 1:
G                 D                   Em
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           G
Flashbacks waking me up
C                       Em
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Am                      Dsus4  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           Dsus4 D             G
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
D                   Bm      C    D
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 1:
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?
 
Chorus 2:
       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                      Dsus4  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           Dsus4 D             G
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
D                   Bm      C    D
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 2:
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
 

                                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
 
Chorus 3:
C                       Em
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
Am              Dsus4  D
   'Cause 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           Dsus4 D             G
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
D                   Bm      C    D
    It's death by a thousand cuts   -you didn't touch-
 
Post-Chorus:
                                        G
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
            D                               Bm      C
My body, my love, my trust -it's death by a thousand cuts-
               D
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
 
Outro:
G  D    Em           G
           I take the long way home
C           Em                     Am
  I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
           Dsus4  D         
They say, "I      don't know"
