[Verse 1]
A Em7
There's a black dog on my shoulder again
G A
Licking my neck and saying she's my friend
A Em7
Soltitude the one thing that I really miss
G A
Guess my life is a compromise
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em Em7 G A
There's a black dog on my shoulder again
F#m F#m7 A B
I'm playing with it, but it's gone to my head
Em Em7 G A
Like carlito's way there are no exit signs.
[Chorus 1]
D G
Freeze me there until I'm numb
D G
My mouth is so dry
D G
my eyes are shut tight
Em Em7 G A
There's a black dog a coming tonight
D G D G
Black dogs a coming tonight
[Instrumental]
Em G A
[Verse 2]
A Em7
My dilemma, but not my choice
G A
Winston Churchill can you hear my voice
A Em7
Melodrama there in my kitchen sink
G A
Double vision the way it is
[Pre-chorus 2]
Em Em7 G A
Am I coming home to you again
F#m F#m7 A B
Or am I stupid just by design
Em Em7 G A
Does it matter if you really ever know.
[Chorus 2]
D G
This black dog is out of control
D G
My mouth is so dry
D G
my eyes are shut tight
Em Em7 G A
There's a black dog a coming tonight
D G D G
Black dogs a coming tonight.
[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Em Em7 G A
Am I coming home to you again
F#m F#m7 A B
Or am I stupid just by design
Em Em7 G A
Does it matter if you really ever know.
[Chorus 3]
D G
This black dog is out of control
D G
My mouth is so dry
D G
my eyes are shut tight
Em Em7 G A
There's a black dog a coming tonight
