Chorus 1:
C                 G                   Am
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           C
Flashbacks waking me up
F                       Am
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Dm                      Gsus4  G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
 

C                    G               Am
  I look through the windows of this love
               C
Even though we boarded them up
F                  Am
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Dm           Gsus4 G             C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
G                   Em      F    G
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 1:
C                        G                     Em  F
  I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
                                  G
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"
C                       G             Em  F
  And what once was ours, is no one's now
                               G
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
C                             G                 Em  F
  You said it was a great love, one for the ages
                                  G
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
 
Chorus 2:
       C                 G                   Am
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           C
Flashbacks waking me up
F                       Am
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Dm                      Gsus4  G
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
 

C                    G               Am
  I look through the windows of this love
               C
Even though we boarded them up
F                  Am
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Dm           Gsus4 G             C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
G                   Em      F    G
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 2:
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 hand
                                     C
Paper cut stings 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     G    Am G
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
 
Chorus 3:
F                       Am
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
Dm              Gsus4  G
   'Cause you're not my baby
C                    G               Am
  I look through the windows of this love
               C
Even though we boarded them up
F                  Am
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Dm           Gsus4 G             C
'Cause I can't pretend 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-
 
Post-Chorus:
                                        C
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
            G                               Em      F
My body, my love, my trust -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                     Dm
  I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
           Gsus4  G         
They say, "I      don't know"
