A D
I nearly made it all the way to work this morning
A
Then I changed my mind
A
There's an empty feeling in my soul
D A
That's crying for a lifetime of marking time
E7 D
I don’t know if it's too late to find success
A
Or if my life can take the change
A
But I'm not getting any younger
E7 A
And I'm feeling the weight of my chains
A D
My woman waits at home for me inside
A
The safety of an aging dream
A
She goes on believing in some
E7 A
Promises that she ain't never seen
E7 D
And it would break her heart if she knew how
A
My thoughts are tortured by the strain
A
God knows that I love her
E7 A
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
A D
I'm not looking for that pot of gold beyond
A
Some faded rainbow in the sky
A D
I'm just trying hard to feed a hungry dream
A
That's trying hard to stay alive
D
But sometime I feel like giving up
A
When all my efforts seem in vain
A
But somehow I'll keep on trying
E7 A
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
A
Lord knows I'll keep on trying
E7 A
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
