Bought a ticket to Seattle but I can't get to the plane

Everytime I leave you I keep running out of chain

I hunger for your love it never gives me any slack

But if I ever break away, I'm never coming back to these



Chains, chains, shackles and chains

No matter what it takes some day I'm gonna break these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains

These love taking, heart breaking, cold, hard, lonely making chains



You never try to hold me 'till you see me walking out

I guess you'd rather be with me than ever be without

You call me back and kiss me and my heart begins to sink

When I know that all you're doing's taking up another link in these



Chains, chains, shackles and chains

No matter what it takes some day I'm gonna break these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains

These love taking, heart breaking, cold, hard, lonely making chains



Love was never meant to be a one-way street

I was never meant to be falling at your feet

You got me where you want me and I don't know what to do

You don't belong to me but I belong to you in these



Chains, chains, shackles and chains

No matter what it takes some day I'm gonna break these

Chains, chains, shackles and chains

These love taking, heart breaking, cold, hard, lonely making chains
