Verse 1
[G] [G] [Am] [Em]
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
[G] [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 a 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] [Em]
The horses are coming so you better run
Verse 2
[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 love and your longing behind

You can't 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
Bridge
[G] [G] [G] [Am] [Em]
And I never wanted anything from you
[G] [G]
Except everything you had
[G] [Am] [Em]
And what was left after that too, oh

Struck from a great height
[G] [Am] [Em]
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses
[Em] [G]
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses

The dog days are over

The horses are coming
[Em]
So you better run
