Death By A Thousand Cuts Chords

[Intro]
My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)

My, my, my, my (my, my, my, my)
 
 
C        G
  My, my, my, my
Am        G
   My, my, my, my
F        Am
  My, my, my, my
Dm         G
   My, my, my,  my
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
C                 G                 Am
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
           G
Flashbacks waking me up
F                       Am
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Dm            
'Cause the morning comes 
           G
and you're not my baby
 
C                   G               Am
  I look through the windows of this love
               G
Even though we boarded them up
F                  Am
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Dm             G                  C
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
 G                           F    G
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                       G  
  I dress to kill my time, 
                        F
I take the long way home
                         
I ask the traffic lights 
         G
if it'll be alright, 

they say, "I don't know"
C                       G 
  And what once was ours, 
               F
is no one's now
                      
I see you everywhere, 
         G
the only thing we share is this small town
C                            G  
  You said it was a great love, 
               F
one for the ages
                         
But if the story's over, 
     G
why am I still writing pages?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
       C              
'Cause saying goodbye 
   G                 Am
is death by a thousand cuts
           G
Flashbacks waking me up
F                      Am
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
           Dm            
'Cause the morning comes 
            G
and you're not my baby
 
C                   G            Am
  I look through the windows of this love
               G
Even though we boarded them up
F                  Am
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Dm            
'Cause I can't pretend 
G                       C
it's okay when it's not
G                            F    G
    It's death by a thousand cuts
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                                G
  My heart, my hips, my body, my love
                                        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
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
                                    F
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
                                      G
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
                                    C
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
 
                                G
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
                                        F
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
                   
Gave you too much, 
              G
but it wasn't enough
                     
But I'll be alright, 
                         C G Am G
it's just a thousand cuts
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
F                       Am
  I get drunk, but it's not enough
Dm                 G
   'Cause you're not my baby
C                    G               Am
  I look through the windows of this love
               G
Even though we boarded them up
F                  Am
  Chandelier still flickering here
         Dm             G        
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay 
           C
when it's not, no it's not
G                            F    G
    It's death by a thousand cuts   

(you didn't touch)
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
                                        C
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
            G               
My body, my love, my trust 
                  F
(it's death by a thousand cuts)
               G
But it wasn't enough, 

it wasn't enough, no, no
 
 
[Outro]
 
C  G  Am            G
           I take the long way home
F           Am                      Dm
  I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
           G     
They say, "I don't know"
