[intro] G [verse] G Happiness hit her like a Am Em train on a track... G Coming towards her, Am Em stuck still no turning back... G She hid around corners and she hid under beds Am She killed it with kisses and Em 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] G The dog days are over G The dog days are done G Am The horses are coming Em So you better run [verse] 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 You can't Em carry it with you if you want to survive [chorus] 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 [verse] G Am Em And I never wanted anything from you G G Except for everything you had and G Am Em what was left after that too, oh G Happiness hit her G G Am Em like a bullet in the head..... G Struck from a great height G G Am Em by someone who should know better than that [chorus] 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 [verse] 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 You can't Em carry it with you if you want to survive [chorus] 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 G So you better run
