^EIt was lost in a sound like this Of times his mind told himself was bliss ^AAcoustical lullaby with ^Gall hell going ^F#on inside ^E It was a ^Gtrench-coat top hat ^F#shotgun dog dow^En day

^EIt was a sound a bit like this Trashy & blue with a blaggard's hiss ^ATalking about gits love today In a s^Gtrung up hang dog ^F#head fuck quick buck ^Eway

^EPacked up and I headed East Headed for the Belly of the Beast ^ABut within a Bangkok's half hour I was ^Gway laid by a ^F#lower power^E It was a ^Gsmacked up cracked up ^F#bone shot smacked down^E day

Chorus:

^EDon't know if ^BI can go ^Aon ^EMaking no ^Bsense in ^Asongs ^EDon't know if ^Bthis is ^Aforever ^EIt sometimes ^Bfeels like ^Aforever ^GForever and ^F#a dog down ^Eday

E E E [G A]x2 Verse Carl:

^EIt was found in a state like this By town and hammered up and a bloodied fist ^AHis heart was broke but he got the jist

Get he ^Gcan't carry ^F#on like this^E It was a ^Gblackjack, paddywhack, ^F#stick a brother in the back ^Eday

^EBack in London’s grey-scotch mist Staring up at my therapist ^AHe says pound for pound, blow for blow You’re the ^Gmost messed-up mother^F#fucker I know^E It was a ^G12 step bus fare ^F#knock down daycare ^Eday

Bridge:

Makes no ^C#modds that you're there Makes no ^Eodds that you care Makes no ^Bodds ^Aanymore

Forever and a dog down

^GForever and a ^F#dog down ^Eday E E E [G A]x2

Chorus:

^EDon't know if ^BI can go ^Aon ^EMaking no ^Bsense in ^Asongs ^GForever and a ^F#dog down da^Ey

^EIs this failing? Supposed to be plain sailing

Don't fade away

Don't fade away^E ^GGlory ^AHallelujah ^Eday!

^GGlory ^AHallelujah ^Eday! E E E [G A] until the end
