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
