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