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
A7 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
A7 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
A7 D
Promises that she ain't never seen
A7 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
A7 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
A7 D
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
D
Lord knows I'll keep on trying
A7 D
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
