Chains Around My Heart by Richard Marx

Intro: F#m D Bm A Abm (2x) G 
 
A         (/F#)           E                   D
Out of my sight, but the vision is still the same
A         (/Bm) (/F#)    E                D
Out of my mind, but the memory remains unchanged
D                            A
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
D                     Bm              D-E hold
Return to sender could only make things worse

Chorus:
 E                                A               F#m
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
                  E         B
Cause I've been lonely too long
 E                         A                F#m
You've got to break these chains around my heart
           E          B  (/Eb)   E hold (/F#m - E - Eb)
So I can finally get on with my life

A           (/F#)            E                   D
Don't ask me why, why I've lived with this all alone
A           (/Bm) (/F#)   E                 D
Locked up inside, and its cutting me to the bone
D                    A
Love is a stranger avoiding me
D                       Bm       D-E hold
Beware of danger's the only sign I see

(Repeat Chorus)

D                                           E
Are you listening, is there something that you'd like to say?
D                                        E
Am I getting through, are you just gonna leave me this way?

Coda: A F#m E  B (2x)

Bridge:
 E                                A               F#m
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
           E           B
Before it tears me in two
 E                          A               F#m
You've got to break these chains around my heart
            E             B
That's all I'm asking of you
 E                          A               F#m
You've got to break these chains around my heart
                  E          B
Cause I've been lonely too long
 E                         A                F#m
You've got to break these chains around my heart
          E          B      (/Eb)-E hold (/F#m - E - Eb)
So I can finally get on with my life.
