Chord The Thrill Of It All - Sam Smith

[Verse 1]
Am                         C
  You must think that I'm stupid
G                           Dm
  You must think that I'm a fool
Am                        C
  You must think that I'm new to this
G                            Dm
  But I have seen this all before

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
I'm never gonna let you close to me
C
Even though you mean the most to me
       G                        Dm
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
       Am
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
C
Even when I mean the most to you
   G                               Dm
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

[Refrain]
               Am                         C
Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
                   G                               Dm
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
                   Am                         C
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
                       G                           Dm
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

[Chorus]
                         Am                            C
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
                         G                             Dm
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

[Verse 2]
Am                            C
  I know you're thinking I'm heartless
G                             Dm
  I know you're thinking I'm cold
Am                        C
  I'm just protecting my innocence
G                         Dm
  I'm just protecting my soul

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
I'm never gonna let you close to me
C
Even though you mean the most to me
       G                        Dm
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
       Am
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
C
Even when I mean the most to you
   G                               Dm
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

[Refrain]
               Am                        C
Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
                   G                               Dm
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
                   Am                         C
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
                        G                         Dm
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

[Chorus]
                         Am                            C
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
                         G                             Dm
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
                          Am                              C
No way that you'll see me cry (No way that you'll see me cry)
                         G                             Dm
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
Am                                             C
  No, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
G                                                      Dm
  No, no, no, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
Am                            C
  (No way that you'll see me cry)
G                           Dm
  (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

[Outro]
               Am                        C
Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
                   G                               Dm
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
                   Am                        C
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
                        G                         Dm
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

[Verse 1]
Am
I never feel like this
C                           Am
I'm used to emptiness in my heart
       G
And in my arms
Am
You're not what I'm used to
C                                         Am
You keep me guessing with things that you do
  G
I hope that they're true

[Pre-Chorus]
       F
'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past
   C
If I run every time it starts
   F                     C
So I need to know if I'm in this alone

[Chorus]
        F
Come on baby, say it first
          C
I need to hear you say those words
                      Em                          G
If I'm all that you desire, I promise there'll be fire
                   F
I need to hear you say it first
              C
Come on baby, do your worst
                      Em
I know you'll take me higher
              G
So come on darling
Am
If you love me, say it first
Am
Say it, say it, say it
C
Won't you say it to me?
Am
Say it, say it, say it
C
Won't you say it to me?

[Verse 2]
Am
I know you're right for me
C                                      Am
But I'm waiting for everything in your world
    G
To align with my world
  Am
I think of you while I sleep
  C                               Am
I dream of what we could be if we grow
           G
Together unfold

[Pre-Chorus]
       F
'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past
   C
If I run every time it starts
   F                     C
So I need to know if I'm in this alone

[Chorus]
        F
Come on baby, say it first
          C
I need to hear you say those words
                      Em                          G
If I'm all that you desire, I promise there'll be fire
                   F
I need to hear you say it first
              C
Come on baby, do your worst
                      Em
I know you'll take me higher
              G
So come on darling
Am
If you love me, say it first
Am
Say it, say it, say it
C
Won't you say it to me?
Am
Say it, say it, say it
C
Won't you say it to me?
Am
Say it first
Am
Say it, say it, say it
C
Won't you say it to me?
Am
Say it, say it, say it
C
Won't you say it to me?

Am
Come on baby, say it first
                             Em
I need to hear you say those words

Won't you say it to me?

Am7                              C
Maybe one day I won' t sing about you
Cadd4                          G
I' ll sing a song about someone new
Am7                                C

When it was good, it was bittersweet, honey
            F                             G
You made me sad '€˜til I loved the shade of blue

I know you don' t want to talk to me, so this is what I will do

And I hope it makes you burn
      Am7                                C
And I hope it reminds you of how much it hurt

[Pre-Chorus]

When you were mine

Am C C7

[Verse 1]
Am                                      F
I choose me, and I know that's selfish, love
                                        C
You are a dream, and I can't thank you enough
      G
But I give another piece of me away
Em
Every waking day that I'm with you
Am                                             F
Am I a monster? What will your family think of me?
                                                 C
They brought me in, they helped me out with everything
      G
But I give a little piece of me away
Em
Every single day

[Chorus]
F                        C                     G
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
F                     C                 Am
I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain
F
I'll always love you
      C                   G
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
F             C
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
G             Am
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo

[Instrumental]
Am C C7

[Verse 2]
Am                                      F
Love you so much that I have to let you go
                                             C
I'll miss your touch and the secrets we both know
                G
But it would be wrong for me to stay
Am
And I'll just give you hope

[Chorus]
F                        C                     G
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
F                     C                 Am
I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain
F
I'll always love you
      C                   G
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
F                                                Am
I can't stop crying, I hate that I've caused you pain
C                                          G
But I can't deny it, I just don't feel the same
F
I'll always love you
      C                   G
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away
F             C
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
G             Am
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
F                        C                     G
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
F                     C                 Am
I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain
F
I'll always love you
      C                                  G
But tonight's the night I choose to walk away

[Verse 1]
          F#m
I've been smoking, oh
          E
More than twenty a day
              F#m
Blame it on rebellion
      E
Don't blame it on me
           F#m
Wish I was younger
            E
Back to the nineteenth of May
              F#m
I had an open mind
               E
Swore to never change

[Pre-Chorus]
          G
Funny how time goes by
       D
Had respect for myself
               G
That river ran dry
                D
You reached the limit
  G
I wasn't enough
              D
It's like the fire replaced all the love

[Chorus]
          A
I've been burning
               E
Yes, I've been burning
       G
Such a burden
     E          G
This flame on my chest
   A                        E
No insurance to pay for the damage
                G                    Em
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

[Verse 2]
    F#m
Oh, have you ever called
       E
I will burst straight back
F#m
Give you my forgiveness
        E
And the shirt off my back
   F#m
No friends to turn to
        E
Yeah, I messed up that
              F#m
Wish we could smoke again
           E
Just for a day, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
          G
Funny how time goes by
       D
Had respect for myself
               G
That river ran dry
                D
You reached the limit
  G
I wasn't enough
              D
It's like the fire replaced all the love

[Chorus]
          A
I've been burning
               E
Yes, I've been burning
       G
Such a burden
     E          G
This flame on my chest
   A                        E
No insurance to pay for the damage
                G                    Em
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

[Outro]
G                                    Em
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
G                                  Em
Oh, I've been burning up since you left

[Verse 1]
Em           Am         G
Holy Father, we need to talk
Em              Am           G
I have a secret that I can't keep
Em                   Am              G
I'm not the boy that you thought you wanted
Em                      Am            G
Please don't get angry, have faith in me

[Chorus]
Em                            D                 G
Say I shouldn't be here but I can't give up his touch
      Am                D
It is him I love, it is him
Am                                  D               G
Don't you try and tell me that God doesn't care for us
      Am                B7
It is him I love, it is him I love

Am Em D Em
Am Em B7

[Verse 2]
Em                    Am    G
I walk the streets of Mississippi
Em              Am     G
I hold my lover by the hand
Em                 Am              G
I feel you staring when he is with me
Em                 Am   G
How can I make you understand?

[Chorus]
Em                            D                 G
Say I shouldn't be here but I can't give up his touch

Holy Father, judge my sins

You say that you' re leaving, but I don' t think I can let go
Am                                      C/B
When you put the phone down, I began to cry
F                                                     C
What are you to do when the person that you love just says no?
     Am                                       C/B
Boy, get yourself together, move on with your life

[Pre-Chorus]

I would do anything to keep you off my mind

So I don' t think about you '€˜til tomorrow

[Verse 2]
F                                                  C
It wasn' t enough, but you could' ve had the guts to face me
   Am                                                 C/B
It would have meant so much if you' d looked me in the eye
    F                                         C
Why do I always fall for the ones who have no courage?
  Am                                    C/B
I must see some kind of beauty in their eyes

  Am                                C
I see you in the morning, feel your fingers in my hair
Em                               F
Sometimes I still pretend you're there
Am                          C
It hits me without warning, your reflection walking by
Em                         F
But I know it's only in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am                                              C

          Am                                                G
Won't you give me the part of myself that I can't give back?

[Chorus]
        Am
So I'll light up a cigarette
              C
I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left
         G
'Cause I sure can't get no sleep
         G
And Lord knows there's no relief
            Am
You held my heart in your fingertips
         C
So now I drown in my bitterness
    G
Oh, I can't get no sleep
      G                                     C
And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace
Am      G C     F
No peace

[Verse]
Am                   C
All that I am asking is for a little clarity
Em                                F
That's all that really matters to me
Am                   C
In and out of focus, tears are in my eyes
Em                                  F
We're burning down the bridges this time

You held my heart in your fingertips

But I don't even know you anymore

And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace

[Outro]
C                                   G
Sure won't find no peace, no, no

Will you give me the piece

   Am                  C
My head is filled with ruins
        Em                  G
Most of them are built with you
        Am             C
Now the dust no longer moves
         Em                G    Am C Em G
Don't disturb the ghost of you, mmm

But real love is never a waste of time, mmm

      Am                      C
Yeah, I know just what you're saying
        Em            G
And I regret ever complaining

'Bout this heart and all its breaking

[Verse 1]
    Em
I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions
  G
I block out the news, turn my back on religion
      Am
Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naive
     C
I've made it this far on my own
    Em
But lately, that shit ain't been getting me higher
  G
I lift up my head and the world is on fire
        Am
There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones
    C
And I just don't know what to say

Maybe I'll pray, pray

You won't find me in church (No) reading the bible (No)
G
I am still here and I'm still your disciple
    Am
I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please
    C
I'm broken, alone, and afraid
Em
I'm not a saint, I'm more of a sinner

I don't wanna lose, but I fear for the winners
       Am
When I try to explain, the words run away
       C
That's why I am stood here today

[Chorus]
              Em    G
And I'm gonna pray, pray
           Am    C
Maybe I'll pray, pray for a glimmer of hope
           Em    G
