The Antlers - Putting the Dog to Sleep

      C  C/B  Am  Am/G  F  C  G is the progression for almost the whole time


[Verse 1]

C              C/B          Am
Prove to me I’m not gonna die alone.
         Am/G            F
Put your arm around my collarbone,
              C    G
And open the door. 


[Verse 2]

       C                   C/B        Am
Don’t lie to me if you’re putting the dog to sleep,
     Am/G           F
That pet you just couldn’t keep,
               C     G
And couldn’t afford. 


[Verse 3]

       C            C/B         Am
Well prove to me I’m not gonna die alone.
   Am/G         F
Unstitch that shit I’ve sewn,
                 C                          G
To close up the hole that tore through my skin. 


[Verse 4]

         C                 C/B         Am
Well my trust in you is a dog with a broken leg,
Am/G             F                         C      G
Tendons too torn to beg for you to let me back in. 


[Verse 5]

                   C                   C/B       Am
You said, “I can’t prove to you you’re not gonna die alone,
    Am/G          F
But trust me to take you home,
                  C                  G
To clean up that blood all over your paws. 


[Verse 6]

                C
You can’t keep running out,
C/B       Am
Kicking yourself off the bed,
Am/G      F
Kicking yourself in the head,
                           C    G
Because you’re kicking me too.” 


[Verse 7]

          Dm          Am
Put your trust in me,
              Em         G
I’m not gonna die alone.
          Dm          Am
Put your trust in me,
               Em          G                    C
I’m not gonna die alone… I don’t think so...
