[Intro]
A F#m D E
[Verse]
A F#m
Make sure nobody sees you leave
D
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
C#m
Tell your friends you're out for a run
E
You’ll be flushed when you return
A F#m
Take the road less traveled by
D
Tell yourself you can always stop
C#m
What started in beautiful rooms
E
Ends with meetings in parking lots
[Chorus]
C#m D
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
Esus4 E
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
C#m D
It's born from just one single glance
Esus4 E
But it dies and it dies and it dies
A
A million little times
[Verse]
A F#m
Leave the perfume on the shelf
D
That you picked out just for him
C#m
So you leave no trace behind
E
Like you don’t even exist
A F#m
Take the words for what they are
D
A dwindling, mercurial high
C#m
A drug that only worked
E
The first few hundred times
[Chorus]
C#m D
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
Esus4 E
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
C#m D
They show their truth one single time
Esus4 E
But they lie and they lie and they lie
A
A million little times
[Bridge]
A
And you wanna scream
A
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
F#m
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
D C#m E
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
A
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
F#m
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
D C#m E
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
[Outro]
F#m E D
And you know damn well
E
For you, I would ruin myself
A
A million little times
