C                       C/E
 I am someone who until recent events

                 F
 You shared your secrets with

            G                             C
 And your location, you forgot to turn it off

                   C/E                               F
 And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog

                         G
 And pierce new holes in my heart

                       Am    G
 You forgot to turn it off

        F          Am         G    F
 And it hits me, I just don't understand
[Chorus]
               C              G
 How you don't miss me in The Black Dog

      C/E               F
 When someone plays The Starting Line

          C                G
 And you jump up but she's too young

         C/E                F
 To know this song that was intertwined

        C            G      C/E F
 In the magic fabric of our dreaming

 C     G        C/E  F    C
 Old habits die screaming
[Verse 2]
   C                                   C/E
 I move through the world with a heart broken

                    F                      G                         C
 My longings stay unspoken and I may never open up the way I did for you

                       C/E                             F
 And all of those best laid plans, you said I needed a brave man

                   G                            Am   G
 Then proceeded to play him until I believed it too

        F           Am         G    F
 And it kills me, I just don't understand
[Chorus]
               C              G
 How you don't miss me in the shower

       C/E           F                    C
 And remember how my rain soaked body was shaking

        G               C/E          F
 Do you hate me? Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity?

 C              G       C/E  F
 I pledged, and I still mean it

 C     G        C/E   F
 Old habits die screaming
[Bridge]
Am                      F                           C
 Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke

                        G                     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                              F G
 And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons

               C G C/E F    C G C/E F
 Even if I die screa--------ming

                C G C/E F  C G C/E F
 And I hope you hear       it
[Chorus]
                 C             G
 And I hope it's shitty in The Black Dog

      C/E               F
 When someone plays The Starting Line

          C                G
 And you jump up but she's too young

         C/E                F
 To know this song that was intertwined

        C             G      C/E  F
 In the tragic fabric of our dreaming

        C                 G            C/E F
 'Cause tail between your legs, you're lea-ving
[Outro]
 C       G       C/E   F
 I still can't believe it

        C     G        C/E   F
 'Cause old habits die screaming
