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