The Black Dog(Chords)

	        
Verse 1:
C                      Em 
I am someone who until recent events 
                F 
You shared your secrets with 
           G                             C 
And your location, you forgot to turn it off 
                  Em 
And so I watch as you walk 
                         F 
Into some bar called The Black Dog 
                        G 
And pierce new holes in my heart 
                      Am  G 
You forgot to turn it off 


Pre-Chorus
       F 
And it hits me 
  Am         G    F 
I just don't understand 



              C 
How you don't miss me 
       G               Em                F 
In The Black Dog, when someone plays The Starting Line 
        C                  G                 Em 
And you jump up, but she's too young to know this song 
         F                  C            G      Em      F 
That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming 
C     G        Em  F  C 
Old habits die screaming 



Verse 2:
  C                                   Em 
I move through the world with a heart broken 
                   F 
My longing state unspoken 
                G                         C 
And I may never open up thе way I did for you 
                      Em 
And all of those best laid plans 
                    F 
You said I needed a bravе man 
                  G 
Then proceeded to play him 
                    Am  G 
Until I believed it too 

Pre-Chorus
       F 
And it kills me 
  Am         G    F 
I just don't understand 



              C 
How you don't miss me 
       G             Em            F 
In the shower, and remember how my rain-soaked body 
    C               G 
Was shaking, do you hate me? 
       Em           F 
Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity? 
C              G       Em     F 
I pledged, and I still mean it 
C     G        Em  F  Am 
Old habits die screaming 


Bridge:
             F 
Six weeks of breathing clean air 
                 C 
I still miss the smoke 
                       G 
Were you making fun of me? 
                   Am 
With some esoteric joke? 
                    F 
Now I wanna sell my house 
                       C 
And set fire to all my clothes 
           G                            F        G 
And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons 


              C  G  Em  F  C    G  Em  F 
Even if I die screa_______ming_ing 
              C  G  Em  F  C  G  Em  F 
And I hope you  hear       it-it-it 
                C             G 
And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog 
     Em                F                     C 
When someone plays the starting line and you jump up 
          G                 Em 
But she's too young to know this song 
         F                  C             G     Em  F 
That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of my dreaming 
     C                 G            Em  F 
This tail between your legs, you're leaving 


Final 

C       G       Em      F 
I still can't believe it 
       C     G        Em  F 
'Cause old habits die screaming
