[C]I washed my hands of us at the [F]club
[C]You made a mess of me[F]
[C]I pictured you with other girls [F]in love
[C]Then threw up on the street[F]
[C]Like waiting for a bus [F]that never shows
[C]You just start walkin' [F]on
[C]They say that if it's right,[F] you know
[C]Each bar plays our song
[F]Nothing has ever felt so wrong
[C]Oh my, love is a lie
[F]Shit my friends say to get me by
[C]It hits different
[G]It hits different this time
[C]Catastrophic blues
[F]Movin' on was always easy for [Am]me to do
[C]It hits different
[G]It hits different 'cause it's you
[G] [Am]('Cause it's you)[G]
[C] My, [G]my, my, my
[Am] My, [C]my, my, my
[F] My, [Am]my, my, my
[Dm] My, [G]my, [G]my, my
[C] I dress to kill my [G]time, I take the long way [Em]home [F]
I ask the traffic lights if it'll
[G]be alright, they say, "I don't know"
[C] And what once was [G]ours, is no one's [Em]now [F]
I see you everywhere, the only [G]thing we share is this small town
[C] You said it was a great [G]love, one for the [Em]ages [F]
But if the story's over, why am I [G]still writing pages?
'Cause [C]saying goodbye is [G]death by a thousand [Am]cuts
Flashbacks [C]waking me up
[F] I get drunk, but it's [Am]not enough
'Cause the [Dm]morning comes and you're [G]not my [G]baby
[C] I look through the [G]windows of this [Am]love
Even though we [C]boarded them up
[F] Chandelier still [Am]flickering here
'Cause I [Dm]can't pretend [G]it's [G]okay when it's [C]not
[G] It's death by a [Em]thousand [F]cuts [G]
[C]I find the artifacts, cried over a hat
[F]Cursed the space that I needed
[C]I trace the evidence, make it make some sense
[F]Why the wound is still bleedin'
[C]You were the one that I loved
Don't need another [F]metaphor, it's simple enough
[C]A wrinkle in time like the [F]crease by your eyes
[C]This is why they shouldn't kill off the [F]main guy
[C]Dreams of your hair and your stare and [F]sense of belief
[C]In the good in the world, you once [F]believed in me
[C]And I felt you and I [F]held you for a while
[C]Bet I could still melt your [F]world
[C]Argumentative, antithetical [F]dream girl
[C] My heart, my hips, my body, my [G]love
Tryna find a part of me that [Em]you didn't [F]touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad [G]drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted [C]club
Our songs, our films, united we [G]stand
Our country, guess it was a [Em]lawless [F]land
Quiet my fears at the touch of your [G]hand
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin [C]plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my [G]trust
Tryna find a part of me you [Em]didn't take [F]up
Gave you too much but it wasn't [G]enough
But I'll be alright, it's just a [C]thousand cuts [G] [Am] [G]
[C]I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
[F]Is that your key in the door?
[C]Is it okay? [F]Is it you?
[C]Or have they come to take me [F]away?
[C]To take me [F]away
[C]Oh my, love is a lie
[F]Shit my friends say to get me by
[C]It hits different (it hits different)
[G]It hits different this time
[C]Catastrophic blues
[F]Movin' on was always easy for [Am]me to do
[C]It hits different (it hits different)
[G]It hits different 'cause it's you
'Cause [C]saying goodbye is [G]death by a thousand [Am]cuts
Flashbacks [C]waking me up
[F] I get drunk, but it's [Am]not enough
'Cause the [Dm]morning comes and you're [G]not my [G]baby
[C] I look through the [G]windows of this [Am]love
Even though we [C]boarded them up
[F] Chandelier still [Am]flickering here
'Cause I [Dm]can't pretend [G]it's [G]okay when it's [C]not
[G] It's death by a [Em]thousand [F]cuts [G]
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't [C]touch
My body, my [G]love, my trust (it's death by a [Em]thousand [F]cuts)
But it wasn't [G]enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
[Am] I take the [C]long way home
[F] I ask the [Am]traffic lights if it'll [Dm]be alright
They say, [G]"I [G]don't know"
