Intro
[C]
[C]I am someone who until [C/E]recent events
you shared your [F]secrets
with and your lo[G]cation,
you forgot to turn it [C]off
and so I watch as [C/E]you walk
[F]
into some bar called the black dog
and pierce new holes in my [G]heart
you forgot to turn it [Am]off..[G]
and it [F]hits me..
I [Am]just don’t [G]unders[F]tand..
Chorus
how you don’t [C]miss me in the [G]black dog
when [C/E]someone plays the [F]starting line
and you [C]jump up but she’s [G]too young
to know [C/E]this song that was [F]intertwined
in the [C]magic fabric [G]of our [C/E]drea..[F]ming..
[C]old ha[G]bits die [C/E]screa[F]..[C]ming
I [C]move through
the world with a heart [C/E]broken
my longings stay un[F]spoken
and I may never [G]open up
the way I did for [C]you
and all of those best [C/E]laid plans,
you said I needed a [F]brave man
then proceeded to [G]play him
until I believed it [Am]too..[G]
and it [F]kills me..
I [Am]just don’t [G]unders[F]tand..
Chorus
how you don’t [C]miss me in the [G]shower
and re[C/E]member how my [F]rain soaked
body was [C]shaking
do you [G]hate me?
was it [C/E]hazing for a [F]cruel fraternity?
[C]I pledged, and [G]I still [C/E]mean.. [F]it..
[C]old ha[G]bits die [C/E]screa[F]..[Am]ming
six weeks of breathing [F]clean air,
I still miss the s[C]moke
were you making fun of [G]me
with some esoteric [Am]joke?
now I wanna sell my [F]house
and set fire to all my [C]clothes..
and hire a [G]priest to come
and exorcise m[F]y de..[G]mons
even if I die [C]scre[G]a.[C/E]….[F].m[C]in[G]g.[C/E]. [F]
and I hope yo[C]u [G]he[C/E]ar..[F] i[C]t.[G]. [C/E] [F]
Chorus
and I hope it’s [C]shitty in the [G]black dog
when [C/E]someone plays the [F]starting line
and you [C]jump up but she’s [G]too young
to know [C/E]this song that was [F]intertwined
in the [C]tragic fabric [G]of our [C/E]drea..[F]ming..
‘cause [C]tail between your [G]legs,
you’re [C/E]lea..v[F]ing..
[C]I still [G]can’t be[C/E]lieve.. [F]it..
‘cause [C]old ha[G]bits die [C/E]screa[F]..ming..
