Verse:
           Bb
right now, i’m doing it all for johnny
i dont want him perched over me
with a gun to his head
flowers to his side
and now the only time johnny will ever buy me flowers
is the day that i die

[pre+chorus 1]
F
johnny, i’m tired
   Gm
of lighting myself on fire
        Eb
just to keep you warm
             F
johnny could hurt me, and i
      Gm
would stitch myself up
in the colour of his eyes

Chorus 1:
    Bb
how good is it?
   F
to love like a dog?
             Dm
until you’re treated like one
          Eb
until you pick yourself back up
        Bb.                           Gm
just to realise you’ve learned how to bark
           Dm
so, i dont raise my voice
           Eb
and i dont do enough (?)

Bb

Verse 2:
             Bb
i’m tired of doing it all for katie
i’ve been trying to get in her head
since she went on medication
now, i’m trying to get out of it

i know the only time that katie will give me a call
is when she’s at the bottom of a bottle

[pre+chorus 2]
F
katie, i’m scared
       Gm
you’re holding up your hair
            Eb
and i’m too young to know what that means
F
katie, i care
       Gm
but if i don’t leave you here
    Eb
i’m sure that it’ll destroy me

Chorus 2:
    Bb
how good is it?
         F
when you love like a dog?
          Dm
‘till you turn into one
          Eb
‘till you pick yourself back up
        Bb                           Gm
just to realise you’ve learnt how to bite
           Dm
and you’ll have these claw marks
        Eb
for the rest of your life

Bb

[post+chorus]
Bb
so, how good does it get?

‘cause i’ve loved like a dog
         Dm
now, i’m greedy like one
          Eb
and now i froth at the mouth
      Dm
now i chase for the bone
      Eb
and i snarl at the kid
  Bb
i guard like a dog-
       C          Bb
i dont let anyone in
