My, my, my, my ( my, my, my, my )

[chorus (1)]
C
Saying goodbye
G Am
Is death by a thousand cuts
C
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
i look through
G Am
The windows of this love
C
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 Em F G
it's death by a thousand cuts
[verse (1)]
C G
i dress to kill my time
Em
I take the long way home
F
i ask the traffic lights
G
If it'll be alright they say, "I don't know"
C
and what once was ours
G 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
C
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
i look through
G Am
The windows of this love
C
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 Em F G
it's death by a thousand cuts
[bridge]
C G
my heart, my hips, my body, my love
Em 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
Em F
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
G
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hands
C
Paper cut stains from our paper-thin plans
G
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Em F
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
G
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough
C
But i'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
G Am G
[chorus (3)]
F Am
i get drunk, but it's not enough
Dm G
cause you're not my baby
C
i look through
G Am
The windows of this love
C
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, no it's not
G Em F G
it's death by a thousand cuts
( you didn't touch )
C
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
G
My body, my love, my trust
Em F
( it's death by a thousand cuts )
G
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
[outro]
C G Am C
i take the long way home
F Am
i ask the traffic lights
Dm
If it'll be alright
G
They say, "I don't know"
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
And what once was ours is no one's now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
But I'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
No, it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts (You didn't touch)
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
My body, my love, my trust (It's death by a thousand cuts)
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
