F# B
I nearly made it all the way to work this morning
F#
Then I changed my mind
F#
There's an empty feeling in my soul
B F#
That's crying for a lifetime of marking time
C#7 B
I don’t know if it's too late to find success
F#
Or if my life can take the change
F#
But I'm not getting any younger
C#7 F#
And I'm feeling the weight of my chains
F# B
My woman waits at home for me inside
F#
The safety of an aging dream
F#
She goes on believing in some
C#7 F#
Promises that she ain't never seen
C#7 B
And it would break her heart if she knew how
F#
My thoughts are tortured by the strain
F#
God knows that I love her
C#7 F#
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
F# B
I'm not looking for that pot of gold beyond
F#
Some faded rainbow in the sky
F# B
I'm just trying hard to feed a hungry dream
F#
That's trying hard to stay alive
B
But sometime I feel like giving up
F#
When all my efforts seem in vain
F#
But somehow I'll keep on trying
C#7 F#
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
F#
Lord knows I'll keep on trying
C#7 F#
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
