(Intro)
[A] [F#m] [D] [E]
(Verse 1)
[A]Make sure nobody sees you lea[F#m]leave
Hood over your head, keep your eyes [D]down
Tell your friends you're out for [C#m]a run
You’ll be [E]flushed when you return
[A]Take the road less traveled[F#m]traveled by
Tell yourself you can always s[D]stop
What started in beautiful [C#m]rooms
Ends with [E]meetings in parking lots
(Chorus)
[C#m]And that's the thing about [D]illicit affairs
And [E]clandestine meetings and [A]longing stares
It's [C#m]born from just one [D]single glance
But it [E]dies and it dies and it dies
A [A]million little times
(Verse 2)
[A]Leave the perfume on the [F#m]shelf
That you picked out just for [D]him
So you leave no trace b[C#m]behind
Like you [E]don’t even exist
[A]Take the words for what they [F#m]are
A dwindling, mercurial [D]high
A drug that only [C#m]worked
The [E]first few hundred times
(Chorus)
[C#m]And that's the thing about [D]illicit affairs
And [E]clandestine meetings and [A] stolen stares
They [C#m]show their truth on[D]one single time
But the[E]they lie and they lie and they lie
A [A]million little times
(Verse 3)
And you wanna scream[A]scream
[A]Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
[F#m]Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
[D]You showed me colors you [C#m]know I can't see with [E]anyone else
[A]Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
[F#m]Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
[D]You taught me a secret [C#m]
language I can't speak with [E]anyone else
And you [F#m]know [A]damn [D]well
For you, I would [E]ruin myself
[A]A million little times
