Intro G..
G Bm
i am someone who, until recent events
C
you shared your secrets
D
with and your location
G
you forgot to turn it off
Bm
and so i watch as you walk
C
into some bar called the black dog
D
and pierce new holes in my heart
Em
you forgot to turn it off
D C
and it hits me..
Em D C
i just don't understand..
Chorus
G D
how you don't miss me in the black dog
Bm C
when someone plays 'the starting line'
G
and you jump up
D Bm
but she's too young to know this song
C G
that was intertwined in the magic fabric
D Bm C
of our drea..ming..
G D Bm C G
old habits die screa..ming..
G
i move through the world
Bm
with the heartbroken
C
my longings stay unspoken
D
and i may never open up
G
the way i did for you
Bm
and all of those best laid plans
C
you said i needed a brave man
D
then proceeded to play him
Em
until i believed it too
D C
and it kills me..
Em D C
i just don't understand..
Chorus
G D
how you don't miss me in the shower
Bm
and remember
C G
how my rain soaked body was shaking
D Bm
do you hate me? was it hazing?
C G
for a cruel fraternity i pledged
D Bm C
and i still mean it..
G D Bm C (Em)
old habits die screa..ming..
Em C
six weeks of breathing clean air
G
i still miss the smoke
D
were you making fun of me
Em
with some esoteric joke?
C
now i want to sell my house
G
and set fire to all my clothes
D
and hire a priest to come
C D
and exorcise my de..mons
G D Bm C G D Bm C
even if i die screa.. ming..
G D Bm C G D Bm C
and i hope you hear.. it..
Chorus
G D
and i hope it's shitty in the black dog
Bm C
when someone plays the starting line
G
and you jump up
D Bm
but she's too young to know this song
C
that was intertwined
G
in the tragic fabric
D Bm C
of our drea..ming..
G D
cause tail between your legs
Bm C

G D Bm C
and i still can't believe.. it..
G D Bm C
cause old habits die screa..ming
