[Intro]
Bb Gm Eb D F
[Verse I]
Bb
make sure nobody sees you leave
Gm Eb
hood over your head, keep your eyes down
D
tell your friends you're out for a run
F
you'll be flushed when you return
Bb
take the road less traveled by
Gm Eb
tell yourself you can always stop
D
what started in beautiful rooms
F
ends with meetings in parking lots
[Chorus]
D Eb
and that's the thing about illicit affairs
F
and clandestine meetings and longing stares
Bb Eb
it's born from just one single glance
F
but it dies and it dies and it dies
Bb
a million little times
[Verse II]
Bb
leave the perfume on the shelf
Gm Eb
that you picked out just for him
D
so you leave no trace behind
F
like you don’t even exist
Bb
take the words for what they are
Gm Eb
a dwindling, mercurial high
D
a drug that only worked
F
the first few hundred times
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
and that's the thing about illicit affairs
F
and clandestine meetings and stolen stares
Bb Eb
they show their truth one single time
F
but they lie and they lie and they lie
Bb
a million little times
[Verse III]
and you wanna scream
Bb
don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
Gm
look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
Eb F
you showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
Bb
don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
Gm
look at this idiotic fool that you made me
Eb F
you taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
Gm Eb Bb
and you know damn well
F Bb
for you, I would ruin myself
Bb
a million little times
