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