C
Everything I've ever done's
F                    C
gone belly up or bust
C
Don't ask you to believe me now
F                         G
I don't deserve your trust
C         
Just let me prove to you
F                                   C
that I'm a new man, I gone straight
C                             
Next time that I see you
G                                   C   C(1)   C  C(2)
let's pretend it's our first date

C                        
I looked into my past
F                                   C
and I don't much like what I see
C                             
A chain around my neck
                    F                    G
of things that I don't want to be
C                             
A chain around my neck
               F                    C
of lies and bitterness and pride
C                                       
A chain that doesn't let you see
G                    C
the man I am inside

chorus:
F                             
Chain around my neck
C                             
Chain around my neck
G                             
Can't move this way or that way
C                                            
A train that's jumped its track
F                                       
It don't let me move forward
C                             
It don't let me move back
C                    G    
Chain around my
F                         C
Chain around my neck

C
If you left me now no one
       F                         C
could say that you were wrong
C
But my life is a place where I am
F               G
certain you belong
C    
I know that our love can be
F               C
as solid as a rock
C                   
All I need is one more chance
G               C
baby, to unlock this...

(chorus)

Bm                    G               D
Each link on the chain is choking
Bm                    G               A
But each link on the chain can't be broken
Bm                    G               D
Each link takes your love away from me
Bm                    G               A
But only your love can set me free

D
From this chain around my neck
F                              D
This chain around my neck
D                   
Can't move this way or that way
A
A train that's jumped its track
D
It don't let me move forward
G                         D
It don't let me move back
D          A
Chain around my
G                    D
chain around my neck
D          A
Chain around my
G                    D
chain around my neck
