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?
