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