Lyrics

A lone from night to night, you’ll (Gm)find (A7)me,

too weak to break the chains that (C9)bind me;

I need no shack les to re (Gm)mind me,

I’m just a (F7)pris ’ner of (Fm7)love.

For one com mand I stand and (Gm)wait (A7)now,

from one who’s mas ter of my (C9)fate now;

I can’t es cape, for it’s too (Gm)late now,

(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.

(D7)What’s the (Gm)good of my (D7)car ing, if (Gm)some one is (D7)shar ing those (Gm)arms (D7)with (Gm)me?

(D7)Al though (G)he has an (D7)oth er, I (G)can’t have an (D7)oth er; for (G)I’m (D7)not (Bb7)free.

He’s in my dreams, a wake or (Gm)sleep (A7)ing,

up on my knees to him I’m (C9)creep ing;

my ver y life is in his (Gm)keep ing,

(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.

A lone from night to night, you’ll (Gm)find (A7)me,

too weak to break the chains that (C9)bind me;

I need no shack les to re (Gm)mind me,

I’m just a (F7)pris ’ner of (Fm7)love.

For one com mand I stand and (Gm)wait (A7)now,

from one who’s mas ter of my (C9)fate now;

I can’t es cape, for it’s too (Gm)late now,

(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.

(D7)What’s the (Gm)good of my (D7)car ing, if (Gm)some one is (D7)shar ing those (Gm)arms (D7)with (Gm)me?

(D7)Al though (G)she has an (D7)oth er, I (G)can’t have an (D7)oth er; for (G)I’m (D7)not (Bb7)free.

She’s in my dreams, a wake or (Gm)sleep (A7)ing,

up on my knees to her I’m (C9)creep ing;

my ver y life is in her (Gm)keep ing,

(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.

(Eb)love.
