Capo 3
Intro
[Db] [D#] [A#] [A#m] [Cb]
====

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

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

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

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

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