Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

[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
