[Verse 1]
C                       G
 I am someone who until recent events
                 Am
 You shared your secrets with
            F       
 And your location, 
                       C
 you forgot to turn it off
                   G              
 And so I watch as you walk into 
                     Am
 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                     
 I move through the world 
              G
 With a heart broken
                    Am             
 My longings stay unspoken and I may 
       F                         C
 Never open up the way I did for you
                       G           
 And all of those best laid plans, 
                     Am
 you said I needed a brave man
                   F      
 Then proceeded to play him 
                     C
 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         
 And remember how my 
 F                    C
 Rain soaked body was shaking
        G               Am     
 Do you hate me? Was it hazing 
       F
 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        
 Six weeks of breathing clean air, 
                  C
 I still miss the smoke
                            
 Were you making fun of me 
                    Am
 With some esoteric joke
                     F    
 Now I wanna sell my house 
                        C
 And set fire to all my clothes
                          
 And hire a priest to come 
                 G
 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
