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