[Verse 1]
D F#m G
The dog days of August
D A Bm
And a feeling of being awake
Bm G (D)
Oh my God, my whole damn world's
G A (D)
Hotel walls and mind decay
D F#m G
How come I never got used to
D A Bm
The feeling of sleeping in a cage?
Bm G (D)
Too long driving, too damn hungry
G A
A tied-up hound but nothing stays
[Chorus]
D F#m G
Never swam a river wider, wider
D A Bm
Couldn't climb a building taller
Bm G (D)
Never seen a morning rising brighter
[Interlude]
G G A A
[Bridge]
D F#m G
Never tasted sweeter cellar cider
D A Bm
Couldn't hold a hammer stronger
Bm G (D)
Never had a need for shining china
[Interlude]
G G A A
[Verse 2]
D F#m G
I sit right where I used to
D A Bm
My desk chair in a corner in a haze
Bm G (D)
Oh my God, my whole damn world's
G A (D)
A smoked out pine in a sonic blaze
D F#m G
I still have direction
D A Bm
But I'm digging in my thoughts all day
Bm G (D)
I see the devil like I used to
G A (D)
I hear my rhythm out of phase
[Chorus]
D F#m G
Never swam a river wider, wider
D A Bm
Couldn't climb a building taller
Bm G (D)
Never seen a morning rising brighter
[Interlude]
G G A A
[Bridge]
D F#m G
Never tasted sweeter cellar cider
D A Bm
Couldn't hold a hammer stronger
Bm G (D)
Never had a need for shining china
