Song Lyrics and Chords
[INTRO]
| G / / / | G / / / |
[VERSE 1]
G Am Em
Happiness hit her like a train on a track...
G Am Em
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back...
[PRE CHORUS 1]
G
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
G Am Em
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
G
With every bubble she sank with her drink
G Am Em
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
[CHORUS 1]
G
The dog days are over
G
The dog days are done
G Am
The horses are coming
Em
So you better run
[BRIDGE 1]
G
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
G
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
G Am
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
Em
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
[CHORUS 2]
G
The dog days are over
G
The dog days are done
G Am
Can you hear the horses?
Em G
'Cause here they come
(silence)
[VERSE 2]

And I never wanted anything from you
G G G Am Em
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
[PRE CHORUS 2]
(loud again)

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head.....
G G G Am Em
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
