With a harpoon to the heart

You have snagged me

With a harpoon to the heart

You're on my tail

                          C7
And there's nothing I can do

   F                     Fm
To ever shake loose from you

        C                      G7           C       C
And you don't even know you're Ahab in this tale

Everywhere I turn

You're never that far distant

Every now and then

I think I'm clean away

But then you reappear and no matter how hard I steer

I know I'm gonna have to fight another long night and day

On this wide, open sea

      C
I can never ever be free

You're stuck inside me

         C                  G                  C      C
Though I know this battle's furthest from your mind
[Verse 3] 1:19

Like a hound dog on the scent

             G7
Your ghost's relentless

       G7                 G
Like a hound dog with the scent

You're on my trail

And there's nowhere I can hide

         F                        Fm
'Coz you never seem to break your stride

        C              G                C        C
Oh, you got me running up hill and down dale
[Verse 4] 1:46

All across this country

      C
I can never ever be free

      A                            Dm     G
Every day I hear the baying from behind

       C
Like a hellhound with the scent

             F          Fm
Your ghost's relentless

         C                 G          C       C
Though I know your love is only in my mind       Ahhh!
