Lyrics

Take these chains from my heart and set me (C7)free.

You’ve grown cold and no long er care for (F)me.

All my faith in you is (F7)gone,

but the (Bb)heart aches ling er (G7)on.

Take these (C7)chains

from my heart and set me (F)free.

Take (C)these (F)tears

from my eyes and let me (C7)see

just a spark

of the love that used to (F)be.

If you love some bod y (F7)new,

let me (Bb)find a new love, (G7)too.

Take these (C7)chains

from my heart and set me (F)free.

Give my heart

just a word of sym pa (C7)thy.

Be as fair

to my heart as you can (F)be.

Then if you no long er (F7)care

for the (Bb)love that’s beat ing (G7)there,

take these (C7)chains

from my heart and set me (F)free.

Take (C)these (F)chains from my heart and set me (C7)free.

You’ve grown cold and no long er care for (F)me.

All my faith in you is (F7)gone, but the (Bb)heart aches ling er (G7)on.

Take these (C7)chains from my heart and set me (F)free.

Give my (Gm7)free.
