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