• Capo on 1st
• Difficulty: Beginner

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

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

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

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

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

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