Illicit Affairs

[Intro] G  Em7  C9  Bm/A D

[Primeira Parte]

G                            Em7
  Make sure nobody sees you leave
                                     C9
Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
                                    Bm/A
Tell your friends you're out for a run
            D
You’ll be flushed when you return
G                              Em7
  Take the road less traveled by
                               C9
Tell yourself you can always stop
                           D
What started in beautiful rooms

Ends with meetings in parking lots

[Refrão 1]

Bm                               C9
   And that's the thing about illicit affairs
      D
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
      Bm                 C9
It's born from just one single glance
        D
But it dies and it dies and it dies
   G
A million little times

[Segunda Parte]

G                            Em7
  Leave the perfume on the shelf
                              C9
That you picked out just for him
                         Bm/A
So you leave no trace behind
          D
Like you don’t even exist
G                              Em7
  Take the words for what they are
                        C9
A dwindling, mercurial high
                   D
A drug that only worked

The first few hundred times

[Refrão 2]

Bm                               C9
   And that's the thing about illicit affairs
      D
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
       Bm                  C9
They show their truth one single time
          D
But they lie and they lie and they lie
   G
A million little times

[Ponte]

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
 C9
You showed me colors you know
                 D
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
 C9
You taught me a secret language
                   D
I can't speak with anyone else

          Bm  Bm/A C9
And you know damn well
                  D
For you, I would ruin myself
   G
A million little times
