Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: A minorAm

♫ Verse 1:
C majorC            G+G
 I am someone who until recent events
         A minorAm
 You shared your secrets with
      FF               C majorC
 And your location, you forgot to turn it off
          G+G                 A minorAm
 And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog
             FF
 And pierce new holes in my heart
            C majorC
 You forgot to turn it off
    G+G     A minorAm       FF
 And it hits me, I just don't understand

♫ Chorus:
        C majorC       G+G
 How you don't miss me in The Black Dog
   A minorAm        FF
 When someone plays The Starting Line
     C majorC        G+G
 And you jump up but she's too young
     A minorAm         FF
 To know this song that was intertwined
    C majorC      G+G   A minorAm  FF
 In the magic fabric of our dreaming
 C majorC   G+G    A minorAm  FF
 Old habits die screaming


♫ Verse 2:
  C majorC                  G+G
 I move through the world with a heart broken
          A minorAm           FF             C majorC
 My longings stay unspoken and I may never open up the way I did for you
            G+G                A minorAm
 And all of those best laid plans, you said I needed a brave man
          FF              C majorC
 Then proceeded to play him until I believed it too
    G+G      A minorAm       FF
 And it kills me, I just don't understand


♫ Chorus:
        C majorC       G+G
 How you don't miss me in the shower
    A minorAm      FF          C majorC
 And remember how my rain soaked body was shaking
    G+G        A minorAm      FF
 Do you hate me? Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity?
 C majorC       G+G    A minorAm  FF
 I pledged, and I still mean it
 C majorC   G+G    A minorAm  FF
 Old habits die screaming

♫ Bridge:
A minorAm           FF              C majorC
 Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke
                       A minorAm
 Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke
           FF              C majorC
 Now I wanna sell my house and set fire to all my clothes
                      G+G
 And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons
        C majorC
 Even if I die screaming
FF        C majorC
 And I hope you hear it


♫ Chorus:
         C majorC       G+G
 And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog
   A minorAm        FF
 When someone plays the starting line
     C majorC        G+G
 And you jump up but she's too young
     A minorAm         FF
 To know this song that was intertwined
    C majorC      G+G   A minorAm  FF
 In the magic fabric of our dreaming
    C majorC         G+G      A minorAm FF
 'Cause tail between your legs, you're leaving


♫ Outro:
 C majorC    G+G    A minorAm  FF
 I still can't believe it
    C majorC   G+G    A minorAm  FF
 'Cause old habits die screaming
