Intro:
E E E [G A]

Verse Peter: 
E
It was lost in a sound like this

Of times his mind told himself was bliss
A                       G              F#         E
Acoustical lullaby with all hell going on inside
         G                   F#             E
It was a trench-coat top hat shotgun dog down day

E
It was a sound a bit like this

Trashy & blue with a blaggard's hiss
A
Talking about gits love today
      G                 F#                   E
In a strung up hang dog head fuck quick buck way

E
Packed up and I headed East

Headed for the Belly of the Beast
A
But within a Bangkok's half hour
      G             F#         E
I was way laid by a lower power
         G                     F#                    E
It was a smacked up cracked up bone shot smacked down day

Chorus: 
E             B        A 
Don't know if I can go on
E         B        A
Making no sense in songs
E             B       A
Don't know if this is forever
E            B          A
It sometimes feels like forever
G           F#         E
Forever and a dog down day

E E E [G A]x2

Verse Carl:
E
It was found in a state like this

By town and hammered up and a bloodied fist
A
His heart was broke but he got the jist

       G           F#          E
Get he can't carry on like this
         G                      F#                          E
It was a blackjack, paddywhack, stick a brother in the back day

E
Back in London’s grey-scotch mist

Staring up at my therapist
A
He says pound for pound, blow for blow
           G                    F#           E
You’re the most messed-up motherfucker I know
         G                F#                 E
It was a 12 step bus fare knock down daycare day


Bridge:
         C#m
Makes no odds that you're there
         E
Makes no odds that you care
         B    A
Makes no odds anymore

Forever and a dog down 
G             F#       E 
Forever and a dog down day

E E E [G A]x2

Chorus: 
E             B        A 
Don't know if I can go on
E         B        A
Making no sense in songs
G             F#         E
Forever and a dog down day


E
Is this failing?

Supposed to be plain sailing

Don't fade away
               E
Don't fade away

G     A          E
Glory Hallelujah day!

G     A          E
Glory Hallelujah day!
