Chords

[Chours 1]
E                 B                   C#m
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

           E
Flashbacks waking me up

A                       C#m
  I get drunk, but it's not enough

           F#m                      B
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

E                    B               C#m
  I look through the windows of this love

  E
Even though we boarded them up

A                  C#m
  Chandelier still flickering here

         F#m           B                   E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

B                   G#m      A    B
    It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 1]
E                        B                     G#m  A
  I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home

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

E                       B             G#m  A
  And what once was ours, is no one's now

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

E                             B                 G#m  A
  You said it was a great love, one for the ages

                                  B
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
[Chorus 2]
       E                 B                   C#m
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

           E
Flashbacks waking me up

A                       C#m
  I get drunk, but it's not enough

           F#m                      B
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

E                    B               C#m
  I look through the windows of this love

               E
Even though we boarded them up

A                  C#m
  Chandelier still flickering here

         F#m           B                   E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

B                   G#m      A    B    A
    It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 2]
B                      C#m             E
  My knuckles were bruised like violets

                      B                           B
  Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked

                    C#m          E
  Spineless in my tomb of silence

                       B                          B
  Tore your banners down, took the battle underground

                   C#m          E
  And maybe it was egos swinging

                   B
  Maybe, it was her

B                 C#m                           E     B
  Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[Chorus]
            A
  All that blood shed, crimson clover

     E
  Uhuh, sweet dream was over

      C#m                            B
  My hand was the one you reached for

                            A
  All throughout the Great War

                     E
  Always remember uhuh, tears on the lettеr

     C#m                    B
  I vowed not to cry anymore

                              B
  If we survived thе Great War

 A     E       C#m   B
  Uh-huh  Uh-huh

B
  If we survived thе Great War
[Bridge]
F#m               E
  It turned into something bigger

C#m                  B                            F#m
  Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed

                     E
  Your finger on my hair pin triggers

  C#m                                     B                             F#m
  Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth

              E                           C#m
  Broken and blue, so I called off the troops

                B                 F#m
  That was the night I nearly lost you

E                     C#m     B
  I really thought I lost you
[Verse 3]
E                                B
  My heart, my hips, my body, my love

                             G#m        A
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch

                               B
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug

                                         E
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

 B
Our songs, our films, united we stand

                            G#m     A
Our country, guess it was a lawless land

                                    B
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hand

                                     E
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans

    B
My time, my wine, my spirit, my choice

                            G#m         A
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up

                                 B
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough

                                         E     B    C#m B
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
[Chorus 3]
A                       C#m
  I get drunk, but it's not enough

F#m              B
   'Cause you're not my baby

E                    B               C#m
  I look through the windows of this love

               E
Even though we boarded them up

A                  C#m
  Chandelier still flickering here

         F#m           B                   E
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not

B                   G#m      A    B
    It's death by a thousand cuts   (you didn't touch)
[Post-Chorus]
                                        E
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch

            B
My body, my love, my trust,my trust
[Chorus]
          A
All that blood shed, crimson clover

  E
Uhuh, sweet dream was over

   C#m                            B
My hand was the one you reached for

                          A
All throughout the Great War

                   E
Always remember uhuh, the burning embers

   C#m                    B
I vowed not to cry anymore

                           B       A
If we survived thе Great War

E
but it was death by a thousand cuts

B       A                     E
If we survived thе Great War
[Outro]
E  B    C#m           E
           I take the long way home

A           C#m                     F#m
  I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

      B            N.C.
They say, "I      don't know"
