(Verse) [G] Happiness hit her like a train on a [G]tra-a[Am]aa[Em]a-ack... [G] Coming towards her, stuck still, no turning [G]ba-a[Am]a-a[Em]a-ack... She [G] hid around corners and she hid under beds She [G] killed it with ki[Am]sses [Em]and from it she fle-e-ed With [G] every bubble she sank with a drink And [G] washed it a[Am]way down the [Em] kitchen sink
The [G] dog days are over The [G] dog days are done The [G] horses are [Am] comi-ing So [Em] you better ru-un
(Chorus)
Run [G] fast for your mother, run fast for your father [G] Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers [G] Leave all your love and your [Am] longing behind You can't [Em] carry it with you if you want to survive
The [G] dog days are ove-er The [G] dog days are do-oo-one [G] Can you hear the ho[Am]rse-e-e-s? 'Cause [Em] he-ere they co-oo-[G]ome
[stop] 1..2..3
(Bridge) slow, quiet And [G/] I-I [G/] never wanted [G/] anything [Am/] from you-[Em/]uu ... Except [G/] for e-e-every-[G/]thing you had and [G/] what was left [Am/] after that [Em/] too, oh
(Verse) down-up, loud again [G] Happiness hit her [G] like a bullet in the [G] baa-[Am]aa-[Em]ack..... [G] Struck from a -- great height... [G] by someone who should know [G]be-ee[Am]-etter than [Em] that
The [G] dog days are ove-e-er The [G] dog days are done [G] Can you hear the ho[Am]rse-es? 'Cause [Em] here they come [G] ...
(Chorus) Run [G] fast for your mother, run fast for your father [G] Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers [G] Leave all your love and your [Am] longing behind You can't [Em] carry it with you if you want to survive
The [G] dog days are ove-e-er The [G] dog days are do-o-o-one [G] Can you hear the ho[Am]rse-e-e-es? 'Cause [Em] here they come
(Outro) The [G] dog days are over The [G] dog days are do-o-o-one The [G] horses are co[Am]ming So [Em] you better run
The [G] dog days are over The [G] dog days are do-o-o-one The [G] horses are co[Am]ming So [Em] you better ru-u-[G]u-n [G/]
