[Chorus 1]
E B C#m Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts B 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 B 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 A B It's death by a thousand cuts
[Verse 1]
E B 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 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 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 B 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 B 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 A B It's death by a thousand cuts

[Transition 1]
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, the bombs were close and 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 fight anymore A If we survived thе Great War E C#m B Uh-huh Uh-huh 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
[Transition 2]
E B My heart, my hips, my body, my love 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 A Our country, guess it was a lawless land B Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand E Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans B My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust 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 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 B 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 A B It's death by a thousand cuts E Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch B A My body, my love, my trust B mt trust
[Transition 3]
E To that blood shed, crimson clover B Uhuh, the heart switchin was over A B My hand was the one you reached for E All throughout the Great War B Always remember uhuh, we're burning embers A B I vowed not to cry any more E Cause we survived thе Great War

B E It's death by a thousand cuts B A If we survived thе Great War E B A I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home B I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright E They say, "I don't know"
