I know the dog days of the summer
C Cadd4 C G C Cadd4 C G
Have you ten to one out-numbered
Am G F C Cadd4 C G
Seems like everybody up and left and they're not coming back
Am G F C Cadd4 C G
The shadow that you're standing on's still here sometimes that's all that you can ask
N.C.
And your heart's still beating
C Cadd4 C G x 2
C Cadd4 C G C Cadd4 C G
You're not the fastest draw in town now
C Cadd4 C G C Cadd4 C G
How many times you been shot down now?
Am G F C Cadd4 C G
Seems like everybody else could see the things you never did
Am G F C Cadd4 C G
But if you could yourself you'd probably never have made it through the things you did
N.C.
With your heart still beating
C Cadd4 C G
horn over Am G F C Cadd4 C G
I know the dog days of the summer
Have you ten-to-one out-numbered
It seems like everybody else saw trouble sneaking up behind
Left you half dead in the street but that just means you're half alive
And your heart's still beating
C Cadd4 C G x 2
C Cadd4 C G
Still beating...
Still beating...
Still beating...
Still beating...
Still beating...
And your heart still beating...
