Death By A Thousand Cuts by Taylor Swift

(Acoustic Live version from City of Lover)

Capo 4

INTRO:
C C/B Am7 Gsus4
C C/B Fsus4 Gsus4

CHORUS:
C C/B Am7
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Gsus4
Flashbacks waking me up
C C/B
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Fsus4 Gsus4
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C C/B Am7
I look through the windows of this love
Gsus4
Even though we boarded them up
C C/B
Chandelier still flickering here
Fsus4 Gsus4
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's
C Gsus4
not
Fsus4 Gsus4
It's death by a thousand cuts

VERSE 1:
C
I dress to kill my time
C/B
I take the long way home
Am7 Gsus4
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, They say, "I don't know"
C
And what once was ours
C/B
Is no one's now
Fsus4 Gsus4
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share Is this small town
C
You said it was a great love
C/B
One for the ages
Fsus4
But if the story's over,
Gsus4
why am I still writing pages?

CHORUS:
C C/B Am7
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Gsus4
Flashbacks waking me up
C C/B
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Fsus4 Gsus4
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
C C/B Am7
I look through the windows of this love
Gsus4
Even though we boarded them up
C C/B
Chandelier still flickering here
Fsus4 Gsus4
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's
C Gsus4
not
Fsus4 Gsus4
It's death by a thousand cuts

VERSE 2/BRIDGE:
C Gsus4
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Fsus4
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gsus4
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
 C
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Gsus4
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
Fsus4
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Gsus4
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
C*
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
Gsus4
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Fsus4
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gsus4
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
C C/B Am7 Gsus4
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts

C C/B
I get drunk, but it's not enough
Am7 Gsus4
'Cause you're not my baby
C C/B Fsus4
I look through the windows of this love
Gsus4
Even though we boarded them up
C C/B
Chandelier still flickering here
Fsus4 Gsus4
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's
C Gsus4
not… No, it's not
Fsus4 Gsus4
It's death by a thousand cuts
C
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gsus4
My body, my love
Fsus4
My trust
Gsus4
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
C C/B Am7

Gsus4
I take the long way home
C C/B Fsus4
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
Gsus4 C**
They say, "I don't know"

*Strum once and cut

**Strum once and let ring
