Verse 1
[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

'Cause tail between your legs, you're lea-ving

I still can't believe it
[C] [G] [C/E] [F]
'Cause old habits die screaming
