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