[Verse 1]
D G
On and on I've went and gone and fallen so far behind
Em A D
Running, always working, never having no time
D G
Let off from the army, settle into sweet repose
Em A D
Keeping everything inside until it explodes
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Come up in my dream, you won't come down
G D A
You get the feeling that you're being run out of town
Em
I was a soldier in the evergreen war
G D A
Nobody seems to talk about it no more
[Chorus]
D G
Oh, you, you don't know
Em G Em G
What this life can do to a fool like me
D G
You, you don't know
Em G Em G
What this life can do to a fool like me
[Verse 2]
D G
Strangers and their kindnesses help me along the way
Em A D
Give me so much more than I can hope to repay
D G
Situations rise and fall but they don't belong to me
Em A D
I can't get inside 'em, can't pretend that I see
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Caught up in my dream, you won't get free
G D A
You start to get the feeling you're lost out at sea
Em
Tell all the old men stop telling tales
G D A
Nobody really believes in chasing white whales
[Chorus]
D G
Oh, you, you don't know
Em G Em G
What a love can do to a fool like me
D G
You, you don't know
Em G Em G
What a love can do to a fool like me
[Verse 3]
D G
Lying underwater looking up at the surface lights
Em A D
Shining so alive and playing games with my eyes
D G
Footfalls on the cobblestone echoing in the fog
Em A D
I just act at their command, I do tricks like a dog
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Come up in my dream, you won't come out
G D A
You start to see what the mad men are laughing about
Em
Somewhere in my dream I already know
G D A
I had this one before and I know how it goes
[Chorus]
D G
Oh, you, you don't know
Em G Em G
What this world can do to a fool like me
D G
You, you don't know
Em G Em G
What this world can do to a fool like me
