Chorus 1:
Db                 Ab                   Bbm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           Db
Flashbacks waking me up
Gb                       Bbm
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Ebm                      Absus4  Ab
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
 

Db                    Ab               Bbm
  I look through the windows of this love
               Db
Even though we boarded them up
Gb                  Bbm
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Ebm           Absus4 Ab             Db
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
Ab                   Fm      Gb    Ab
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 1:
Db                        Ab                     Fm  Gb
  I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
                                  Ab
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"
Db                       Ab             Fm  Gb
  And what once was ours, is no one's now
                               Ab
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
Db                             Ab                 Fm  Gb
  You said it was a great love, one for the ages
                                  Ab
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
 
Chorus 2:
       Db                 Ab                   Bbm
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           Db
Flashbacks waking me up
Gb                       Bbm
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Ebm                      Absus4  Ab
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
 

Db                    Ab               Bbm
  I look through the windows of this love
               Db
Even though we boarded them up
Gb                  Bbm
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Ebm           Absus4 Ab             Db
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
Ab                   Fm      Gb    Ab
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 2:
Db                                Ab   
  My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                             Fm        Gb
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                               Ab
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                                         Db
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
 

                                Ab   
Our songs, our films, united we stand
                            Fm     Gb
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                                    Ab
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hand
                                     Db
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
 

                                Ab   
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                            Fm         Gb
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                                 Ab
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
                                         Db     Ab    Bbm Ab
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
 
Chorus 3:
Gb                       Bbm
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
Ebm              Absus4  Ab
   'Cause you're not my baby
Db                    Ab               Bbm
  I look through the windows of this love
               Db
Even though we boarded them up
Gb                  Bbm
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Ebm           Absus4 Ab             Db
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
Ab                   Fm      Gb    Ab
    It's death by a thousand cuts   -you didn't touch-
 
Post-Chorus:
                                        Db
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
            Ab                               Fm      Gb
My body, my love, my trust -it's death by a thousand cuts-
               Ab
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
 
Outro:
Db  Ab    Bbm           Db
           I take the long way home
Gb           Bbm                     Ebm
  I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
           Absus4  Ab         
They say, "I      don't know"
