Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 2nd
  • Difficulty: Beginner
Verse 1:
A#            Dm
I am someone who until recent events
         Gm
you shared your secrets with and your
F
location
            A#
you forgot to turn it off
A#           Dm
And so I watch as you walk into some
      Gm
bar called 'The Black Dog' and pierce
       F
new holes in my heart
            A#  F
you forgot to turn it off
F    D#
and it hits me
Gm      F   D#
I just don't understand
🎸

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

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

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

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

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