Chords

[Verse 1]
               C
We were in the backseat

                   G                               Am   F
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar

          C
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"

G                     Am   F
I say casually in the car

          C
We were a fresh page on the desk

G                           Am  F
Filling in the blanks as we go

          C                           G
As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head

           Am   F
Leading us home
[Chorus]
                   C                       G
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends

                  Am            F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

                 C                           G
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend

                  Am            F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

          C          G                Am                     F
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

          C           G              Am
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

    F                           C
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

    G                           Am   F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
[Verse 2]
                    C
Windows swung right open, autumn air

G                             Am    F
Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours

             C
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street

G                          Am    F
Memorize the creaks in the floor

                  C
Back when we were card sharks, playing games

G                             Am   F
I thought you were leading me on

            C
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street

  G                        Am   F
Before you even knew I was gone
C G Am F [Verse 3]
C
 I dress to kill my time

G/B                       Am
 I take the long way home

                                  F
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"

C                       G/B               Am
  And what once was ours, is no one's now

                               F
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town

C                             G/B                 Am
  You said it was a great love, one for the ages

                                  F
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
[Chorus 2]
       C                 G/B                 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/B             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/B                 Em       F    G
    It's death by a thousand cuts
[Bridge]
        Am
Walk me back to that apartment

       F
Years ago, we were just inside

                G
Barefoot in the kitchen

             Am
Sacred new beginnings

                 F
That became my religion, listen

C G                Am        F
    I didn't wanna lose you (Yeah)

C                                G/B
  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/B
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/B
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/B  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/B             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/B                 Em       F
    It's death by a thousand cuts
[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     C
They say, "I      don't know"
