Taylor Swift - Death By A Thousand Cuts - The Great War

[Refrão]

E                 B                   C#m 
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts 
           E 
Flashbacks waking me up 
A                       C#m 
  I get drunk, but it's not enough 
           F#m                      B 
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby 

E                    B               C#m 
  I look through the windows of this love 
  E 
Even though we boarded them up 
A                  C#m 
  Chandelier still flickering here 
         F#m           B                   E 
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not 
B                   G#m      A    B 
    It's death by a thousand cuts 


[Verso 1]


E                        B                     G#m  A 
  I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home 
                                  B 
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know" 
E                       B             G#m  A 
  And what once was ours, is no one's now 
                               B 
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town 
E                             B                 G#m  A 
  You said it was a great love, one for the ages 
                                  B 
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?

[Verso 2]

 
B                      C#m             E 
  My knuckles were bruised like violets 
                      B                           B 
  Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked 
                    C#m          E 
  Spineless in my tomb of silence 
                       B                          B 
  Tore your banners down, took the battle underground 
                   C#m          E 
  And maybe it was egos swinging 
                   B 
  Maybe, it was her 
B                 C#m                           E     B 
  Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur 


[Refrão]

            A 
  All that blood shed, crimson clover 
     E 
  Uhuh, sweet dream was over 
      C#m                            B 
  My hand was the one you reached for 
                            A 
  All throughout the Great War 
                     E 
  Always remember uhuh, tears on the lettr 
     C#m                    B 
  I vowed not to cry anymore 
                              B 
  If we survived th Great War 
 A     E       C#m   B 
  Uh-huh  Uh-huh 
B 
  If we survived th Great War 


[Ponte]

 
F#m               E 
  It turned into something bigger 
C#m                  B                            F#m 
  Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed 
                     E 
  Your finger on my hair pin triggers 
  C#m                                     B                             F#m 
  Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth 
              E                           C#m 
  Broken and blue, so I called off the troops 
                B                 F#m 
  That was the night I nearly lost you 
E                     C#m     B 
  I really thought I lost you 


[Verso 3]


E                                B 
  My heart, my hips, my body, my love 
                             G#m        A 
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch 
                               B 
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug 
                                         E 
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club 
 B 
Our songs, our films, united we stand 
                            G#m     A 
Our country, guess it was a lawless land 
                                    B 
Quiet my fears at the touch of your hand 
                                     E 
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans 
    B 
My time, my wine, my spirit, my choice 
                            G#m         A 
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up 
                                 B 
Gave you too much but it wasn't enough 
                                         E     B    C#m B 
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts 


[Refrão]

A                       C#m 
  I get drunk, but it's not enough 
F#m              B 
   'Cause you're not my baby 
E                    B               C#m 
  I look through the windows of this love 
               E 
Even though we boarded them up 
A                  C#m 
  Chandelier still flickering here 
         F#m           B                   E 
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not, no it's not 
B                   G#m      A    B 
    It's death by a thousand cuts   (you didn't touch) 


[Pós-Refrão]


                                        E 
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch 
            B 
My body, my love, my trust,my trust 



[Refrão]

          A 
All that blood shed, crimson clover 
  E 
Uhuh, sweet dream was over 
   C#m                            B 
My hand was the one you reached for 
                          A 
All throughout the Great War 
                   E 
Always remember uhuh, the burning embers 
   C#m                    B 
I vowed not to cry anymore 
                           B       A 
If we survived th Great War 
E 
but it was death by a thousand cuts 
B       A                     E 
If we survived th Great War 

Outro 

E  B    C#m           E 
           I take the long way home 
A           C#m                     F#m 
  I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright 
      B            N.C. 
They say, "I      don't know"
