[G] Happiness hit her like a train on a [Am] track [Em]
[G] Coming towards her, stuck still, no turning [Am] back [Em]
She [G] hid around corners and she hid under beds
She [G] killed it with [Am] kisses and [Em] from it she fled
With [G] every bubble she sank with a drink
And [G] washed it [Am] away down the [Em] kitchen sink
The [G] dog days are over
The [G] dog days are done
The [G] horses are [Am] coming
So [Em] you better run
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 over
The [G] dog days are done
[G] Can you hear the [Am] horses?
'Cause [Em] here they come [G]
And [G] I [G] never wanted [G] anything [Am] from [Em] you
Except [G] for [G] everything you had and [G] what was left [Am] after that [Em] too, oh
[G] Happiness hit [G] her like a bullet in the [G] back [Am] [Em]
[G] Struck from a great height [G] by someone who [G] should know [Am] better than [Em] that
The [G] dog days are over
The [G] dog days are done
[G] Can you hear the [Am] horses?
'Cause [Em] here they come [G]
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 over
The [G] dog days are done
[G] Can you hear the [Am] horses?
'Cause [Em] here they come
The [G] dog days are over
The [G] dog days are done
The [G] horses are [Am] coming
So [Em] you better run
The [G] dog days are over
The [G] dog days are done
The [G] horses are [Am] coming
So [Em] you better run [G]
