This one's for the dogs

That enter your life
Em7
That make you fall in love

Like it's the last time

And they're out late and wake you in the morning

Kissing your face, saying

"Baby, I'm broken"

And then he's gone

Got a picture in a frame

Likes to hang around

Staying up watching Letterman

Hoping that he'll come home
