[Verse 1]
G                              Em7
Make sure nobody sees you leave
                                        Cmaj7
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
                                    D7
Tell your friends you're out for a run
              D6
You’ll be flushed when you return
G                            Em7
Take the road less traveled by
                                 Cmaj7
Tell yourself you can always stop
                               D7
What started in beautiful rooms
              D6
Ends with meetings in parking lots


[Chorus]
G
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
     D7                      D6
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
Em
It's born from just one single glance
       D
But it dies and it dies and it dies
  G
A million little times


[Verse 2]
G                              Em7
Leave the perfume on the shelf
                                Cmaj7
That you picked out just for him
                            D7
So you leave no trace behind
         D6
Like you don’t even exist
G                               Em7
Take the words for what they are
                           Cmaj7
A dwindling, mercurial high
                       D7
A drug that only worked
    D6
The first few hundred times


[Chorus]
G
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
     D7                      D6
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
Em
They show their truth one single time
         D
But they lie and they lie and they lie
  G
A million little times


[Bridge]

And you wanna scream
G
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
Em7
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
C                                              D
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
G
Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
Em7
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
C                                                  D
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else


[Outro]
        Em7  D    C
And you know damn well
                 D
For you, I would ruin myself
  G
A million little times


G  *8 times*
