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