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