• Capo on 2nd
• Difficulty: Beginner

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

♫ Chorus:
       A#A#        FF
How you don't miss me in The Black Dog
   G minorGm        D#D#
when someone plays 'The Starting Line'
    A#A#       FF
and you jump up but she's too young
   G minorGm
to know this song
     D#D#         A#A#
that was intertwined in the magic
    FF  DmDm  D#D#
fabric of our dreaming
A#A#   FF   DmDm   D#D#
old habits die screaming

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

♫ Chorus:
A#A#
How you don't miss me
    FF
in the shower
   G minorGm
and remember
    D#D#           A#A#
how my rain-soaked body was shaking
    FF
do you hate me?
    G minorGm
was it hazing?
     D#D#       A#A#
for a cruel fraternity I pledged
  FF    DmDm  D#D#
and I still mean it
A#A#   FF    DmDm  D#D#
Old habits die screaming

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

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