(Intro.)

(Verse)
(G) Happiness hit her like a train on a track (G) (Am) (G)
(G) Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back (G) (Am) (G)
(G) She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She (G)killed it with kiss-(Am)es and (G)from it she fled
With (G)every bubble she sank with her drink
And (G)washed it away (Am) down the (G)kitchen sink

(Chorus)
The (G)dog days are over, and the dog days are done
The (G)horses are com-(Am)ing, so (Em)you better run

(Verse)
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 lov-(Am)ing, your loving behind
You can't (Em)carry it with you if you want to survive

(Chorus)
The (G)dog days are over, the dog days are done
(G)Can you hear the hors-(Am)es?
'Cause here they come (G) - - -
 
(Verse)
(quiet)
And (G)I never wanted anything (Am)from you (Em)
Except for (G)everything you had and what was left (Am)after that (Em)too, oh
 
(loud again)
(G) Happiness hit her like a bullet in the (G)back / / / |(Am) / / / |(Em) / / / |
(G) Struck from a great height by someone who should know (Am) better (Em) than that

(Chorus)
The (G)dog days are over, the dog days are done
(G)Can you hear the hors-(Am)es?
'Cause (Em)here they come (G)

(Verse)
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 loving, your (Am)loving behind
You can't (Em)carry it with you if you want to survive

(Chorus)
The (G)dog days are over, the dog days are done
(G)Can you hear the hors-(Am)es?
'Cause (Em)here they come
The (G)dog days are over, the dog days are done
The (G)horses are (Am)coming
So (Em)you better run
 
(Chorus)
The (G)dog days are over, the dog days are done
(G)Can you hear the hors-(Am)es?
'Cause (Em)here they come
The (G)dog days are over, the dog days are done
The (G)horses are (Am)coming
So (Em)you better run - - - - -
