[Capo:3]
Verse 1:
[G]
Make sure nobody sees you leave
[Em]
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
[C]
Tell your friends you're out for a run
[D]
You’ll be flushed when you return
[G]
Take the road less traveled by
[Em]
Tell yourself you can always stop
[C]
What started in beautiful rooms
[D]
Ends with meetings in parking lots
Chorus:
[G]
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
[C]
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]
Leave the perfume on the shelf
[Em]
That you picked out just for him
[C]
So you leave no trace behind
[D]
Like you don’t even exist
[G]
Take the words for what they are
[Em]
A dwindling, mercurial high
[C]
A drug that only worked
[D]
The first few hundred times
Chorus:
[G]
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
[Em]
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
[C]
It's born from just one single glance
[D]
But it dies and it dies and it dies
[G]
A million little times
Bridge:
[G]
And you wanna scream
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
[Em]
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
[C]
You showed me colors you know I can't see
[D]
with anyone else
[G]
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
[Em]
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
[C]
You taught me a secret language I can't speak
[D]
with anyone else
Outro:
Em* D* C*
And you know damn well
Em7* G* C*
For you, I would ruin myself
[G]
A million little times
