G C
I nearly made it all the way to work this morning
G
Then I changed my mind
There's an empty feeling in my soul
C G
That's crying for a lifetime of marking time
D7 C
I don’t know if it's too late to find success
G
Or if my life can take the change
But I'm not getting any younger
D7 G
And I'm feeling the weight of my chains
C
My woman waits at home for me inside
G
The safety of an aging dream
She goes on believing in some
D7 G
Promises that she ain't never seen
D7 C
And it would break her heart if she knew how
G
My thoughts are tortured by the strain
God knows that I love her
D7 G
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
C
I'm not looking for that pot of gold beyond
G
Some faded rainbow in the sky
C
I'm just trying hard to feed a hungry dream
G
That's trying hard to stay alive
C
But sometime I feel like giving up
G
When all my efforts seem in vain
But somehow I'll keep on trying
D7 G
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
Lord knows I'll keep on trying
D7 G
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
