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