(C7add11)and the lock’s on me.

(Fm7)Can’t (Ab)move my arms,

can’t (Cm)lift my hands,

I (Cmb5/Gb)won’t ad mit to where I am.

But I know, ba by,

I’m in chains,

I’m in (Fm7)chains.

Your I pre tend I (C7add11)can al ways leave,

as free to go (C7add11)where ev er please.

But then the sound (C7add11)of my des p’rate calls

Ba by, ba by, (D)I’m in chains.
