Lyrics

Un chain my heart.

Ba by, let me be.

Un chain my heart,

’cause you don’t care a bout (Am6)me.

You got me sewn up like a (Am6)pil low case,

some but you let me my love (Am6)go to waste.

So un chain my heart, oh (E7)please, please, set me (Am)free.

Un chain my heart.

Ba by, let me go.

Un chain my heart,

’cause you don’t love me no (Am6)more.

You Ev ’ry time I call you (Am6)on the phone,

some fel la tells me that you’re (Am6)not at home.

So un chain my heart, oh (E7)please, please, set me (Am)free.

Un chain my heart.

I’m un der your (Dm6)spell,

like a man in a (Am6)trance.

But I know darn (Dm6)well

that I don’t stand a (E7)chance.

So un chain my heart.

Let me go my way.

Un chain my heart.

You wor ry me night and (Am6)day.

Why lead me through a life of (Am6)mis er y,

when you don’t care a bag of (Am6)beans for me?

So un chain my heart, oh (E7)please, please, set me (Am)free.

I’m un der your (Dm6)spell,

like a man in a (Am6)trance.

But I know darn (Dm6)well

that I don’t stand a (E7)chance.

So un chain my heart.

Let me go my way.

Un chain my heart.

You wor ry me night and (Am6)day.

Why lead me through a life of (Am6)mis er y,

when you don’t care a bag of (Am6)beans for me?

So un chain my heart, oh (E7)please, please, set me (Am)free.

I’m un der your Oh, won’t you set me (Dm)free?
