-5     6  -6*-6*-6*-6*-6*  6
Bought a tick-et to Se-at-tle 
6  -5  6    -5  -5 -4   -5
but I can't get to the plane
-6*-6* -6*-6* -6*   6
Ev-‘y-time I leave you 
-5  6  -6*  6    6  -5  -6*
I keep run-nin’ out of chain
-5 -6* -6* -6*  -6*  -7 -6*
My hun-ger for your love-in’ 
6   -5   6   -5 -5-4   -5
nev-er gives me an-y slack
-5  -5-5  6  6   6   6  6
But if I ev-er break a-way, 
6   -8  -7 -7  -6*  -7  -7   -7
I'm nev-er com-in’ back to these

-7      -6*6-5    6   -5  -4    -5
Chains, chains, shack-les and chains
6   6   6   6   6    6
No mat-ter what it takes 
6    -8  -7  -7 -6*  -7   -8-7
some day I'm gon-na break these

-7      -6*6-5    6   -5  -4    -5
Chains, chains, shack-les and chains
-5     -6* -6*  6    -6*   6    -5
These love tak-in’, heart break-in’, 
6       6    -6  6   6  -5    -5
cold, hard, lone-ly mak-in’ chains

You never try to hold me 
'till you see me walking out
I guess you'd rather be with me 
than ever be without
You call me back and kiss me 
and my heart begins to sink
When I know that all you're doing's 
taking up another link in these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains
No matter what it takes some day 
I'm gonna break these
Chains, chains, shackles and chains
These love taking, heart breaking, 
cold, hard, lonely making chains

Love was never meant to 
be a one-way street
I was never meant to be 
falling at your feet
You got me where you want me 
and I don't know what to do
You don't belong to me 
but I belong to you in these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains
No matter what it takes some day 
I'm gonna break these
Chains, chains, shackles and chains
These love taking, heart breaking, 
cold, hard, lonely making chains
