(D)Back of the room,
(A)look ing at you,
(Em)count ing the steps
be tween us.
(D)Hun dred and five
lit tle blades in a line
from your skin to mine,
and I feel it.
(D)Eyes are not bound,
but I can’t look up now;
don’t wan na (Em)give it a way,
my sec ret.
In an oth er life, my teeth and need tongue
con speak a loud what un til now I’ve on ly lease sung.
’Cause I would die to make you mine.
Bleed me dry each and ev ’ry time.
I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times.
You can make me wait for ev er,
push me a way and tell me, “nev er.” I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times,
eh, eh, eh.
Hey, ey, ey.
(D)Kiss me to night
like a good friend might.
I’ll do the same,
won’t mean it; ’cause (D)love is a cage;
these words on a page
(Em)car ry the pain,
but don’t free it.
I would come back a thou sand times.
(Fmaj7)Gon na, gon na let it go, let it go, cov er my (G)mouth, don’t let a sin gle word slip out.
(Am)Would n’t wan na tell you no, tell you no, noth ing could be (C6)worse than the risk of los ing what I don’t have (Fmaj7)now.
I’m weak er by the min ute, though.
Is it so (G)bad if I wan na cry out?
And I would die to make you mine.
Bleed me dry al most ev ’ry (Bm7)time, but I don’t mind, no I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times.
Make me wait for ev er, push me a way,
tell me, “nev er,” but I don’t mind, no, I don’t mind it; I would come back a thou sand times.
I would come back a thou sand times.
I would come back a thou sand times.
This page shows “1000 Times” by Sara Bareilles in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of D at 69 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
