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