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