A                                    Em7
There's a black dog on my shoulder again

G                                      A
Licking my neck and saying she's my friend

A                                      Em7
Soltitude the one thing that I really miss

G                            A
Guess my life is a compromise

I'm playing with it, but it's gone to my head

     Em                     Em7      G    A
Like carlito's way there are no exit signs.
[Chorus 1]
D                        G
Freeze me there until I'm numb

D               G
My mouth is so dry

D               G
my eyes are shut tight

          Em           Em7   G      A
There's a black dog a coming tonight

A                      Em7
My dilemma, but not my choice

G                                   A
Winston Churchill can you hear my voice

A                              Em7
Melodrama there in my kitchen sink

G                               A
Double vision the way it is
[Pre-chorus 2]
     Em             Em7  G   A
Am I coming home to you again

        F#m    F#m7    A      B
Or am I stupid just by design

Does it matter if you really ever know.
[Chorus 2]
D                 G
This black dog is out of control

My mouth is so dry

D               G
my eyes are shut tight

           Em         Em7     G   A
There's a black dog a coming tonight

Black dogs a coming tonight.

Does it matter if you really ever know.
