G                                    Am
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
G                                           Am
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       Em
The horses are coming 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

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
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

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
