Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner
Key: AmVerse 1:
C            G
 I am someone who until recent events
         Am
 You shared your secrets with
      F               C
 And your location, you forgot to turn it off
          G                 Am
 And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog
             F
 And pierce new holes in my heart
            C
 You forgot to turn it off
    G     Am       F
 And it hits me, I just don't understand
🎸

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


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


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


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


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


♫ Outro:
 C    G    Am  F
 I still can't believe it
    C   G    Am  F
 'Cause old habits die screaming
