Chords with lyrics

intro:

E MajorE A minorAm FF
E MajorE A minorAm FF

E MajorE    A minorAm     FF
all i can taste is cigarettes
    C majorC       E MajorE    A minorAm
and the kiss you left upon my lips
FF           C majorC
i’ve left a number of old regrets
    C majorC      E MajorE     A minorAm
from my silken white legs to my hips

FF              G+G
people often say there’s no time in a day
      C majorC      E MajorE    FF
but there’s way too much time for me
  C majorC          G+G
i’m empty and aching; my whole world is shaking
    FF            FF
and the black dog has sat at my feet

E MajorE   A minorAm     FF
nobody sees what i do to me
C majorC   E MajorE       A minorAm
nobody sees when i’m crazed
  FF              C majorC
the contempt that i hold for my own defeat
    C majorC      E MajorE      A minorAm
and the guilt i feel masked by my rage

  Fmaj           Gmaj
you waltz in the room in your drunken perfume
    C majorC      E MajorE     FF
and you touch every inch of my being
      C majorC          G+G
untill the bitter sun rises and shows our disguises
  FF              FF
you stretch while i’m left there bleeding

  A minorAm             FF
and you walk away ‘cause you’re part of the day
   C majorC        E MajorE      A minorAm
and i sleep ‘cause i’m part of the night
  f           c
and you say my chains will soon break away
     C majorC      E MajorE     A minorAm
and i’ll join you one day in the light

(chorus build to heavy)

  Fmaj           Gmaj
you push me and pull me, you ride me, you thrill me
   C majorC     E MajorE     FF
then turn every inch of me down
      C majorC
and i have nothing and no one
  G+G           FF            FF
so what can i owe to one man who is craved by the crowd?

        Cmaj            Gmaj
break my hands; i cant, i cannot break them myself
     A minorAm                FF
i see my own mind and the poisoning of its health
    C majorC                    G+G
help is beyond me; help won’t come from someone else

(chorus quiet)

  FF             C majorC
you waltz in the room in your drunken perfume
    C majorC      E MajorE     A minorAm
and you touch every inch of my being
  FF         C majorC
and you grab my hand; reassure me again
  C majorC      E MajorE    A minorAm
that knowledge is so often freeing

  FF           G+G
and you say my chains will soon break away
     C majorC      E MajorE     FF
and i’ll join you one day in the light
    C majorC          G+G
but i’m empty and aching; my whole world is breaking
    FF            C majorC   G+G
and the black dog is holding me tight……
  FF      G+G     C majorC
the black dog is holding me tight...
