G Am Em Happiness hit her like a train on a track... G Am Em Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back... 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 G The dog days are over G The dog days are done G Am The horses are coming Em So you better run 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 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 G Am Em And I never wanted anything from you G Am Em Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh G G G Am Em Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head..... G Am Em Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that 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 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 G The dog days are over G The dog days are done G Am Can you hear the horses? Em 'Cause here they come G The dog days are over G The dog days are done G Am The horses are coming Em So you better run
