[Verse 1]

G                              Em7
Make sure nobody sees you leave

                                        Cmaj7
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down

                                    D7
Tell your friends you're out for a run

              D6
You’ll be flushed when you return

G                            Em7
Take the road less traveled by

                                 Cmaj7
Tell yourself you can always stop

                               D7
What started in beautiful rooms

              D6
Ends with meetings in parking lots

[Chorus]

G
And that's the thing about illicit affairs

     D7                      D6
And clandestine meetings and longing stares

Em
It's born from just one single glance

       D
But it dies and it dies and it dies

  G
A million little times

[Verse 2]

G                              Em7
Leave the perfume on the shelf

                                Cmaj7
That you picked out just for him

                            D7
So you leave no trace behind

         D6
Like you don’t even exist

G                               Em7
Take the words for what they are

                           Cmaj7
A dwindling, mercurial high

                       D7
A drug that only worked

    D6
The first few hundred times

[Chorus]

G
And that's the thing about illicit affairs

     D7                      D6
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares

Em
They show their truth one single time

         D
But they lie and they lie and they lie

  G
A million little times

[Bridge] And you wanna scream

G
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"

Em7
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

C                                              D
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else

G
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"

Em7
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

C                                                  D
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else

[Outro]

        Em7  D    C
And you know damn well

                 D
For you, I would ruin myself

  G
A million little times

G *8 times*
