E A
I nearly made it all the way to work this morning
E
Then I changed my mind
E
There's an empty feeling in my soul
A E
That's crying for a lifetime of marking time
B7 A
I don’t know if it's too late to find success
E
Or if my life can take the change
E
But I'm not getting any younger
B7 E
And I'm feeling the weight of my chains
E A
My woman waits at home for me inside
E
The safety of an aging dream
E
She goes on believing in some
B7 E
Promises that she ain't never seen
B7 A
And it would break her heart if she knew how
E
My thoughts are tortured by the strain
E
God knows that I love her
B7 E
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
E A
I'm not looking for that pot of gold beyond
E
Some faded rainbow in the sky
E A
I'm just trying hard to feed a hungry dream
E
That's trying hard to stay alive
A
But sometime I feel like giving up
E
When all my efforts seem in vain
E
But somehow I'll keep on trying
B7 E
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
E
Lord knows I'll keep on trying
B7 E
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
