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..
