[C#m]
[Gm] [A]
There's a black dog on my shoulder [Em] again
Licking [G] my neck and saying she's [A] my friend
Solitude the one thing that [D] I really [Em] miss
[G] Yes, my life is a compromise
[F#m] There's [Em] a black dog [B] on my shoulder [Em] again
[A] I'm [F#m] playing with [C#] it, but it's gone to [F#m] my head
[B] [Em] Like Khalido's way, [B] there are no [Em] exit signs
[A] Freeze [D] me [G] there until I'm numb
[D] My mouth [G] is so dry, [D] my eyes [G] are shut
[Em] There's a black dog coming tonight
[A] [D] Black dogs [G] are coming [D] tonight
[G] My [Em] [G]
[D] [A]
dilemma, but not [G] my choice
Winston Churchill, can you hear [A] my voice?
Melodrama, there in my kitchen [Em] sink
[G] Double vision, the way it [A] is
[Em] Am I coming [B] home to you [Em] again?
[A] [F#m] Or am I stupid just by design?
[B] [Em] Does it matter if you really ever know?
[A] [D] This black dog [G] is out of control
