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