A# Gm Make sure nobody sees you leave D# Hood over your head, keep your eyes down Dm Tell your friends you're out for a run F You’ll be flushed when you return Take the road less traveled by Tell yourself you can always stop What started in beautiful rooms Ends with meetings in parking lots Chorus: Dm D# And that's the thing about illicit affairs Fsus4 F And clandestine meetings and longing stares Dm D# It's born from just one single glance Fsus4 F But it dies and it dies and it dies A# A million little times Leave the perfume on the shelf That you picked out just for him So you leave no trace behind Like you don’t even exist Take the words for what they are A dwindling, mercurial high A drug that only worked The first few hundred times Chorus And you wanna scream A# Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby" Gm Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me D# You showed me colors you know F I can't see with anyone else A# Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby" Gm Look at this idiotic fool that you made me D# You taught me a secret language F I can't speak with anyone else Gm F D# And you know damn well F For you, I would ruin myself A# A million little times You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A# Dm D# F Fsus4 Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
