G Am Em Happiness hit her like a train on a track G Am Em Coming towards her, stuck, still no turning back G She hid around corners and she hid under beds Am Em She killed it with kisses and from it she fled G With every bubble, she sank with a drink Am Em And washed it away down the kitchen sink G The dog days are over The dog days are done Am The horses are coming Em So you better run Chorus: G Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Am Leave all your love and your longing behind Em You can't carry it with you if you want to survive G The dog days are over The dog days are done Am Can you hear the horses? Em G 'Cause here they come G Am Em And I never wanted anything from you G Except everything you had Am Em And what was left after that, too, oh Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back Struck from a great height By someone who should have known better than that The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? 'Cause here they come Chorus: Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father (The dog days are over) Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers (The dog days are done) Leave all your love and your longing behind (Can you hear the horses?) You can't carry it with you if you want to survive ('Cause here they come) The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses?
