• Capo on 1st
• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
E MajorE            E minorEm
I G# minorG#m someone who until recent events
         E minorEm
you shared your secrets with and your
F#F#
location
            E MajorE
you forgot to turn it off
E MajorE           E minorEm
And so I watch as you walk into some
      E minorEm
bar called 'The Black Dog' and pierce
       F#F#
new holes in my heart
            E MajorE  F#F#
you forgot to turn it off
F#F#   BB
and it hits me
E minorEm      F#F#   BB
I just don't understand

Chorus:
       E MajorE        F#F#
How you don't miss me in The Black Dog
   E minorEm       BB
when someone plays 'The Starting Line'
    E MajorE       F#F#
and you jump up but she's too young
   E minorEm
to know this song
     BB         E MajorE
that was intertwined in the magic
    F#F# E minorEm BB
fabric of our dreaming
E MajorE   F#F#  E minorEm  BB
old habits die screaming

Verse 2:
E MajorE
I move through the world
       E minorEm
with a heart broken
        E minorEm
My longings stay unspoken
        F#F#
And I may never open up the way I
     E MajorE
did for you
E MajorE             E minorEm
And all of those best laid plans
          E minorEm
you said I needed a brave man
         F#F#
then proceeded to play him
           E MajorE
Until I believed it too
F#F#   BB
and it kills me
  E minorEm    F#F#  BB
I just don't understand

Chorus:
E MajorE
How you don't miss me
    F#F#
in the shower
   E minorEm
and remember
    BB           E MajorE
how my rain-soaked body was shaking
    F#F#
Do you hate me?
    E minorEm
was it hazing?
     BB       E MajorE
for a cruel fraternity I pledged
  F#F#    E minorEm  BB
and I still mean it
E MajorE   F#F#    E minorEm BB
Old habits die screaming

Bridge:
E minorEm           BB
Six weeks of breathing clean air
          E MajorE
I still miss the smoke
E MajorE         F#F#
were you making fun of me
          E minorEm
with some esoteric joke?
E minorEm          BB
now I want to sell my house
              E MajorE
and set fire to all my clothes
F#F#
and hire a priest to come and
      BB  F#F#
exorcise my demons
       E minorEm F#F# E minorEm BB E MajorE
even if I die screaming
       E MajorE F#F# E minorEm BB E MajorE F#F# BB
and I hope you hear it

Chorus:
        E MajorE
And I hope it's shitty
     E minorEm
in The Black Dog
    E minorEm       BB
when someone plays 'The Starting Line'
    E MajorE
And you jump up
     E minorEm        E minorEm
but she's too young to know this song
      BB         E MajorE
that was intertwined in the tragic
    E minorEm  BB
fabric of our dreaming
    E MajorE        F#F#
Cause tail between your legs you're
BB
leaving
E MajorE    F#F#    E minorEm  BB
I still can't believe it
   E MajorE   F#F#   E minorEm BB
cause old habits die screaming
