CHORDS: Taylor Swift – The Black Dog Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are The Black Dog chords by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
C
 I am someone who until
 G
 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 some bar called
      Am
 The Black Dog
 And pierce new holes
    F
 in my heart
                       C
 You forgot to turn it off
        G          Am
 And it hits me, I just
            F
 don't understand

[Chorus]
               C
 How you don't miss me
        G
in The Black Dog
      Am
 When someone plays
     F
 The Starting Line
          C
 And you jump up but
       G
 she's too young
         Am
 To know this song
          F
that was intertwined
        C            G
 In the magic fabric of
     Am   F
 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
                 F
 and I may never open up
                   C
the way I did for you
 And all of those best
 G
 laid plans, you said
            Am
I needed a brave man
                   F
 Then proceeded to play
                          C
 him until I believed it too
        G           Am
 And it kills me, I just
            F
 don't understand

[Chorus]
               C
 How you don't miss me
         G
in the shower
       Am
 And remember how my
  F                    C
 rain soaked body was shaking
        G
 Do you hate me? Was it
 Am           F
 hazing for a cruel
 fraternity?
 C              G
 I pledged, and I still
 Am   F
mean it
 C     G        Am    F
 Old habits die screaming

[Bridge]
Am                      F
 Six weeks of breathing clean
                       C
air, I still miss the smoke
 Were you making fun of
                      Am
me with some esoteric joke
                     F
 Now I wanna sell my house
                        C
 and set fire to all my clothes
 And hire a priest to
                      G
come and exorcise my demons
               C
 Even if I die screaming
F               C
 And I hope you hear it

[Chorus]
                 C
 And I hope it's shitty
        G
in The Black Dog
      Am
 When someone plays
     F
the starting line
          C
 And you jump up but
       G
 she's too young
         Am
 To know this song
          F
that was intertwined
        C
 In the magic fabric
 G      Am   F
 of our dreaming
        C
 'Cause tail between
      G            Am F
your legs, you're leaving

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