Illicit Affairs

[Intro] G  Em7  C7M  G/B  D4(13)

G
 Make sure nobody sees you leave
Em7                                   C7M
 Hood over your head, keep your eyes down
                                     G/B
Tell your friends you're out for a run
          D4(13)
You’ll be flushed when you return
G
 Take the road less traveled by
Em7                            C7M
 Tell yourself you can always stop
                             G/B
What started in beautiful rooms
          D4(13)
Ends with meetings in parking lots

G/B                          C7M
 And that's the thing about illicit affairs
     D4(13)
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
     G/B                C7M
It's born from just one single glance
       D4(13)
But it dies and it dies and it dies
      G
A million little times

G
 Leave the perfume on the shelf
Em7                            C7M
 That you picked out just for him
                        G/B
So you leave no trace behind
         D4(13)
Like you don’t even exist
G
 Take the words for what they are
Em7                      C7M
 A dwindling, mercurial high
                    G/B
A drug that only worked
    D4(13)
The first few hundred times

G/B                          C7M
 And that's the thing about illicit affairs
     D4(13)
And clandestine meetings and stolen stares
     G/B                C7M
They show the truth one single time
       D4(13)
But they lie and they lie and they lie
      G
A million little times


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
C7M                      G/B
You showed me colors you know I can't see
    D4(13)     
With anyone else
G
Don't call me kid, don't call me baby
Em7
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
C7M                    G/B
You taught me a secret language I can't
          D4(13)
Speak with anyone else

       G    G/B  C7M
And you know damn well
                D4(13)
For you, I would ruin myself
    G
A million little times
