Florence + the Machine – Dog Days Are Over  ( Album: Lungs (2010) )

[ G,   G,   Am,   Em]
Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

C:      The dog days are over, The dog days are done
          The horses are coming, So you better run

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
[CHORUS]

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 know better than that
[CHORUS]

Run fast for your mother and 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
[CHORUS] x 2
