Intro: Abm  F#  E X2

Abm                        F# E          F#  Abm
I move away it don't do me no good
                                F#     E
Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would
G        F#5
Help me, beggin' you please
F5                E                 B5 C#5 C#5 B5 C#5
You got the power down on my knees
                           C#5 Eb5 Eb#5 C#5
Give me some kind of life
             Eb5 Eb5
Leave me be
           Abm   E
Take these chains off
                C#5    C#5 Eb5
Take 'em off my heart

(repeat:)        Abm

                       F#       E     F# Abm
Reach out to me, as if from the grave
                               F#  E
I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave
G             F#5
It's my fault loving you so
F5                    E                 C#5 B5 C#5
You were so precious, how could I know 
                           C#5 Eb5 Eb#5 C#5
You turned mean overnight
              Eb5 Eb5
Poor poor me
            Abm   E
Take these chains off
                       C#5    C#5 Eb5
Take 'em off my heart

(repeat:)

E
I don't owe you anything
              F#                  Ab5 F#5 F#5 Ab5 F#5
Why don't you get out of my life
E
Through it all the memories cling
C#5                         Eb5 Eb5
And I can't sleep at night

Abm  F#  E  F#  Abm  Bb5   B5  C#5  Eb  E

G           F#5
Help me I'm beggin' you please                                               
                                                                             
F5                    E                 B5 C#5 C#5 B5 C#5
You've got the power, down on my knees
                          C#5 Eb5 Eb#5 C#5
Give me some kind of life
            Eb5 Eb5
Leave me be
           Abm   E              
Take these chains off
                C#5    C#5 Eb5
Take 'em off my heart

(repeat X4)
