Chords

[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
A B [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 A
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"
