[Verse 1]
Am Em
I couldn't get happy
D G
I couldn't get free
Am Em D G
I couldn't get over you gettin’ over me.
Am Em
Was it some kind of intrusion?
D G
Some kind of breakin' in?
Am Em
Some kind of a stick 'em up and keep 'em up
D G
And never let 'em down again.
[Chorus]
D Am Em
These are my dog days,
D Am Em
This is my fear.
D Am G
This is my "What am I doing here"?
[Verse 2]
Am Em
So then I went to the city
D G
To see the shimmering lights
Am Em
I planned out a groovy route to get to you
D G
Got lost and had to call it a night.
Am Em
I sank in a slumber
D G
Stuck in a stifling haze
Am Em
No matter calling, my phone was off, my number lost,
D G
and no provider anyway.
[Chorus]
D Am Em
These are my dog days,
D Am Em
This is my fear.
D Am G
This is my "What am I doing here"?
[Bridge]
F C
Love can make you whole or break you
G
down, down, down
G
down, down, down
F C
Love can put your feet back on the
G
ground, ground, ground
E
ground, ground, ground.
[Interlude]
Am Em D G
Am Em
I need a lover to call my own
D G
I need a lover to call my home
Am Em
I need a lover to call my friend
D G
I need a lover until the end.
[Chorus]
D Am Em
These are my dog days,
D Am Em
This is my fear.
D Am G
This is my "What am I doing here"?
