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