[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
With her wine-stained lips, yeah she's nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
She takes 'til I break and I can't get more
[Chorus 1]
F Am
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
G Dm
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
F Am
Got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
G Dm
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains, but the chains only wring me
Am
Hey, hey, hey, (hey) tryna break the chains but the chains only wring me
[Verse 2]
Am
Alone in the night 'til she knocks on my door
Oh no, wasted again but I can't say no, no
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul
[Chorus 2]
F Am
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
G Dm
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
F Am
Got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
G Dm
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains, but the chains only wring me
[Verse 3]
Am
Hey, hey, hey, (hey) tryna break the chains but the chains only wring me
Hey, hey, hey, hey (you got me in)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul
[Chorus 3]
F Am
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
