Verse 1
[G]Make sure nobody sees you leave
[Em]Hood over your head, keep your eyes [C]down
Tell your friends you're out for a run [Bm]
You’ll be [D]flushed when you return
[G]Take the road less traveled by
[Em]Tell yourself you can always [C]stop
What started in beautiful rooms [Bm]
Ends with [D]meetings in parking lots

Chorus
[Bm]And that's the thing about i [C]llicit affairs
And [D]clandestine meetings and longing stares
It's [G]born from just one [C]single glance
But it [D]dies and it dies and it dies
A m [G]illion little times

Verse 2
[G]Leave the perfume on the shelf
[Em]That you picked out just for [C]him
So you leave no trace behind [Bm]
Like you [D]don’t even exist
[G]Take the words for what they are
[Em]A dwindling, mercurial [C]high
A drug that only worked [Bm]
The [D]first few hundred times

Chorus
[G]And that's the thing about [C]illicit affairs
And [D]clandestine meetings and stolen stares
They [G]show their truth one [C]single time
But they [D]lie and they lie and they lie
A m [G]illion little times

Verse 3
And you wanna scream
[G]Don't call me "kid, " don't call me "baby"
[Em]Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
[C]You showed me colors you know I can't see with [D]anyone else
[G]Don't call me "kid, " don't call me "baby"
[Em]Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
[C]You taught me a secret language I can't speak with [D]anyone else
And you [Em]know [C]damn [G]well
For you, I would [D]ruin my [G]self
A m [G]illion little times
