The Black Dog

[C]I am someone who until rec[C/B]ent events

You shared your secr[Am]ets with

And your loc[G]ation, you forgot to turn it off [C]

And so I watch as [C/B]you walk

Into some bar called The Bla[Am]ck Dog

And pierce new holes in my [G] heart

You forgot to turn it [F]off [Am] [G]

 

I [F]just don't und[Am]ersta[G]nd

 

How you don't [C]miss me, in The [C/B]Black Dog

When [Am]someone plays "The Sta[F]rting Line"

And you [C]jump up, but she's [C/B]too young to kno[Am]w this song

That was [F]intertwined in the

[C]magic fabr[C/B]ic of our drea[Am]ming [F]

[C]Old hab[C/B]its die screa[Am]ming [F]

[C]

[C]I move through the world with a heart bro[C/B]ken

My longing state uns[Am]poken

And I may never op[G]en up thе way I did for you [C]

And all of those best la[C/B]id plans

You said I needed a br[Am]avе man

Then proceeded to pl[G]ay him

Until I believed it t[F]oo [Am]

 

And it kil[G]ls me

I ju[F]st don't und[Am]ersta[G]nd

 

How you don't [C]miss me

In the sho[C/B]wer and rem[Am]ember how my rain-soa[F]ked body

Was sha[C]kin', do you ha[C/B]te me?

Was it haz[Am]ing for a cr[F]uel fraternity?

[C]I pledged and [C/B]I still me[Am]an it [F]

[C]Old habi[C/B]ts die scre[Am]ami[F]ng

 

[Am]Six weeks of breathin' cle[F]an air

I still miss the smo[C]ke

Were you makin' fun of m[G]e

With some esoteric jo[Am]ke?

Now I wanna sell my ho[F]use

And set fire to all my cl[C]othes

And hire a pri[G]est to come and exorcise my dem[F]ons [Am] [G]

 

Even if I die scre[C]am[C/B]ing [Am] [F]

And I hope yo[C]u hea[C/B]r it [Am] [F]

And then I hope it's shi[C]tty in The Bla[C/B]ck Dog

When som[Am]eone plays "The Sta[F]rting Line" and you ju[C]mp up

But she's to[C/B]o young to kn[Am]ow this song

That was [F]intertwined in the

[C]tragic fabr[C/B]ic of our dre[Am]aming [F]

This ta[C]il between your le[C/B]gs, you're lea[Am]vin' [F]

 

[C]I still ca[C/B]n't belie[Am]ve it [F]

'Cause o[C]ld habi[C/B]ts die scre[Am]aming [F]4
