The song starts with an arpeggio in D but you can play the entire song in this way:
D Em A
|--|-------3------3------3------3----|----------------------------------|---------------------------------|

|--|----------------3----------------|----------0-------------0---------|----------2------------2---------|

This is like the studio version of Tinpan Orange's album, so it's correct but pay
attention with the
Pre-Chorus chords, because they're not played in arpeggios!
From the first Chorus, they add an addictional guitar who play the chords normally, so
if you want to play
this song with some friend you know how to do it!
The E7 chord sound right if played in the seventh capo!
[Intro]
D (x2)
[Chorus]
D D
Love is a dog, love is a dog
D Em
Love is a big old lost dog
Em
I wish I was a bone
A7
Then I'd be on my own
D
Oh, love is a dog
[Verse 1]
D
You were the weather
D
We never stayed together
D Em
Sometimes you're a mean old storm
Em
But I'd wait for you to change
A7
I guess it's kinda strange
D
How you do
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
And the night time takes forever
E7 A
When you're thinking of all the things
G D
Everything that we never did
E7 A
Even though we said we would
[Chorus]
D D
Love is a dog, love is a dog
D Em
Love is a big old lost dog
Em
I wish I was a bone
A7
Then I'd be on my own
D
Oh, love is a dog
[Verse 2]
D
I hear you're doing well
D
You got a new job
D Em
You found someone else to hold
Em
I'll tell you the same
A7
If I see you on the street
D
But the sky still writes your name
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
And the night time takes forever
E7 A
When you're thinking of all the things
G D
Everything that we never did
E7 A
Even though we said we would
[Chorus]
D D
Love is a dog, love is a dog
D Em
Love is a big old lost dog
Em
I wish I was a bone
A7
Then I'd be on my own
D
Oh, love is a dog
