Key: Am ♫ Verse 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
