Chorus 1:
A                 E                   Gbm
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           A
Flashbacks waking me up
D                       Gbm
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Bm                      Esus4  E
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
 

A                    E               Gbm
  I look through the windows of this love
               A
Even though we boarded them up
D                  Gbm
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Bm           Esus4 E             A
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
E                   Dbm      D    E
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 1:
A                        E                     Dbm  D
  I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
                                  E
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"
A                       E             Dbm  D
  And what once was ours, is no one's now
                               E
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town
A                             E                 Dbm  D
  You said it was a great love, one for the ages
                                  E
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
 
Chorus 2:
       A                 E                   Gbm
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           A
Flashbacks waking me up
D                       Gbm
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Bm                      Esus4  E
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
 

A                    E               Gbm
  I look through the windows of this love
               A
Even though we boarded them up
D                  Gbm
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Bm           Esus4 E             A
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
E                   Dbm      D    E
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
Verse 2:
A                                E   
  My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                             Dbm        D
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
                               E
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
                                         A
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
 

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

                                E   
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                            Dbm         D
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                                 E
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
                                         A     E    Gbm E
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
 
Chorus 3:
D                       Gbm
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
Bm              Esus4  E
   'Cause you're not my baby
A                    E               Gbm
  I look through the windows of this love
               A
Even though we boarded them up
D                  Gbm
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Bm           Esus4 E             A
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not
E                   Dbm      D    E
    It's death by a thousand cuts   -you didn't touch-
 
Post-Chorus:
                                        A
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
            E                               Dbm      D
My body, my love, my trust -it's death by a thousand cuts-
               E
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
 
Outro:
A  E    Gbm           A
           I take the long way home
D           Gbm                     Bm
  I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
           Esus4  E         
They say, "I      don't know"
