Feeling The Weight Of My Chains

G                               C 
I nearly made it all the way to work this morning 

                  G 
Then I changed my mind 

G  
There's an empty feeling in my soul 

       C                                G 
That's crying for a lifetime of marking time 

  
        D7                            C 
I donâ??t know if it's too late to find success 

                           G 
Or if my life can take the change 

G  
But I'm not getting any younger 

        D7                       G 
And I'm feeling the weight of my chains 

  
G                             C 
My woman waits at home for me inside 

                       G 
The safety of an aging dream 

G  
She goes on believing in some 
  
D7                            G 
Promises that she ain't never seen 

  
    D7                                   C 
And it would break her heart if she knew how 

                                G 
My thoughts are tortured by the strain 

G  
God knows that I love her 

         D7                       G 
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains 

  
G                                    C 
I'm not looking for that pot of gold beyond 

                          G 
Some faded rainbow in the sky 

G                                      C 
I'm just trying hard to feed a hungry dream 

                           G 
That's trying hard to stay alive 

  
    C 
But sometime I feel like giving up 

                            G 
When all my efforts seem in vain 

G  
But somehow I'll keep on trying 

         D7                       G 
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains 

  
G  
Lord knows I'll keep on trying 

         D7                       G 
I'm just feeling the weight of my chains
