(Take These) Chains

I move away -- it don't do me no good Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would Help me, beggin' you, please. You got the power; down on my knees Give me some kind of life, Leave me be Take these chains off! Take 'em off of my heart! Reach out to me, as if from the grave, I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave. It's my fault loving you so You were so precious, how could I know You turned mean overnight Poor poor me Take these chains off! Take 'em off of my heart! I don't owe you anything Why don't you get out of my life Through it all the memories cling And I can't sleep at night Help me I'm beggin' you please You've got the power, down on my knees Give me some kind of life, Leave me be Take these chains off! Take 'em off of my heart!
