Capo 1

[Intro]
A F#m D E
 
 
[Verse 1]
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
    E                        A
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
     C#m                D
It's born from just one single glance
       E
But it dies and it dies and it dies
  A
A million little times
 
 
[Verse 2]
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
    E                        A
And clandestine meetings and  stolen stares
     C#m                D
They show their truth one single time
       E
But they lie and they lie and they lie
  A
A million little times
 
 
[Verse 3]
                    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
        F#m  A    D
And you know damn well
                 E
For you, I would ruin myself
A
A million little times
