Lyrics

Your arms are warm, they (C7)make me feel

as if they’re made of (C7)cold, er cold steel.

A sim ple kiss, like a (C7)turn ing key;

a lit tle click,

and the (C7)lock’s on me.

Can’t (Ab)move my arms,

can’t (Cm)lift my hands.

I (Cm(b5))won’t ad mit to where I am,

but I know, ba by,

I’m in chains,

I’m in chains.

Your I pre tend I (C7)al ways leave,

as free to go when (C7)ev er I please,

but then the sound of my (C7)des p’rate calls

a ech o off

these the (C7)dun geon walls.

I’ve (Ab)crossed the line

from (Cm)mad to sane

a (Cm(b5))thou sand times and back a gain.

I love you, ba by,

I’m in chains,

I’m in chains.

I’m in chains,

I’m in chains,

I’m in chains,

an’ I’m in chains.

Should have known, pass ing (D7)through the gate,

that once in side I could (D)not es cape.

I (Bb)nev er thought this could (Dm)hap pen to me, nev er thought this is where I’d be.

But, ba by, ba by,

(F)ba by, look (CN.C.)at me.

Now say, (F)ba by, ba by, (CN.C.)look at me:

(Ebmaj7)I’m

(D7aug)in

chains.

Ba by, I’m in chains.

I nev er (Cm)thought this is where I’d (D7)be,

nev er thought this could hap pen to me.

Ba by, ba by, (D7)I’m in chains.

Ba by, ba by, (D)I’m in chains.

Ba by, ba by, (D7)I’m in chains.

Ba by, ba by, (D)I’m in chains.
