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