[Verse 1]
D# G#
On and on I've went and gone and fallen so far behind
Fm A# D#
Running, always working, never having no time
D# G#
Let off from the army, settle into sweet repose
Fm A# D#
Keeping everything inside until it explodes
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
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
Fm
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
Fm G# Fm G#
What this life can do to a fool like me
D# G#
You, you don't know
Fm G# Fm G#
What this life can do to a fool like me
[Verse 2]
D# G#
Strangers and their kindnesses help me along the way
Fm 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
Fm A# D#
I can't get inside 'em, can't pretend that I see
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
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
Fm
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
Fm G# Fm G#
What a love can do to a fool like me
D# G#
You, you don't know
Fm G# Fm G#
What a love can do to a fool like me
[Verse 3]
D# G#
Lying underwater looking up at the surface lights
Fm A# D#
Shining so alive and playing games with my eyes
D# G#
Footfalls on the cobblestone echoing in the fog
Fm A# D#
I just act at their command, I do tricks like a dog
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
Come up in my dream, you won't come out
G# D# A#
You start to see what the mad men are laughing about
Fm
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
Fm G# Fm G#
What this world can do to a fool like me
D# G#
You, you don't know
Fm G# Fm G#
What this world can do to a fool like me
