G C   G

[Verse]
G           C
   I washed my
   hands of
G
us at the club
G           C
   You made a mess
   G
of me
G        C
   I pictured you
     G
with other
girls in love
G             C
   Then threw up on
     G
the street
G          C
   Like waiting
      G
for a bus,
that never shows
G           C
   You just start
        G
walking on
G           C
   They say that if
     G
it's right,
you know
G         C
   Each bar plays
    G
our song
D
Nothing has ever
felt so wrong

[Verse]
G
  I dress to
 kill my
    D
time, I take the
         Bm   C
long way home
I ask the traffic
lights if it'll
D
be alright, they say,
"I don't know"
G
  And what once was
     D
 ours,
            Bm   C
is no one's now
I see you everywhere,
 the only

thing we share is this
 small town
G
  You said it was a
          D
great love,
                Bm   C
one for the ages
But if the story's
over, why am I

death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

  I get drunk,
but it's

not enough

'Cause the morning
 comes
           D
and you're not
 my baby
G
  I look through the
D               Em
windows of this love
               G
Even though we boarded
them up
C
  Chandelier still
Em
flickering here
         Am
'Cause I can't pretend
 D
 it's okay when
     G
it's not
           D
No its not
It's death by a
Bm       C    D
thousand cuts
Trynna find a
part of me
               G
that you didnt touch

[Bridge]
G         C
   I find the artifacts,
G
cried over a hat, cursed
the space that I needed
G          C
   I trace the evidence,
G
make it make some sense,
 why the wound is still
bleeding
G         C
      You were
the one that I
G
loved, don't need
another metaphor it's
simple enough
  G
A wrinkle in time
C
like the
               G
crease by your eyes
G
This is why they
shouldn't
kill off the main guy
G     C        G
Dreams      of your
hair and your stare
and sense of belief
C          G
        In the good in
the world, you once
believed in me
C           G
        And I felt you
and I held you for
a while
      C
Bet I could still
melt your
G
world, argumentative,
antithetical dream girl
G
  My heart, my hips,
            D
my body, my love
Tryna find a
part of me
     Bm         C
that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I
          D
was a bad drug
Now I'm searching
for signs i
             G
n a haunted club
Our songs, our films,
          D
united we stand
Our country, guess it
      Bm      C
was a lawless land
Quiet my fears at the
              D
touch of your hand
Paper cut stings
from our
           G
paper-thin plans
My time, my wine,
my spirit,
   D
my trust
Tryna find a part
of me you d
Bm          C
idn't take up
Gave you too much
 but it
        D
wasn't enough
But I'll be alright,
it's just a
        G     D  Em  D
thousand cuts
G C G D

[Verse]
G          C
   I heard your
key turn
G
in the door down
    D
the hallway
G          C
   Is that your
key
G
in the door?
      D
Is it okay?
G  C     G
   Is it you?
Or have they
come to
G        C
take me away?
G
        To take
 me awayyyyyyy

[Chorus]
C
Shit my friends say
              G
 to get me by
                 C
It hits different,
it
hits different this
 time

Catastrophic blues
C
Moving on was always
           Am
easy for me to do

It hits different, it
hits different 'cause
it's you

Oh my, love is a lie

Shit my friends say

 'cause it's you)
