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