Take these chains

The first time that I met you,
hardly older than a child
you were runnin' the streets actin' indescreet,
innocent and wild
I know I won't forget you, even though I guess I should
you were the only one that got close enough
to bust me up real good

I saw you laugh in the pourin' rain
but any second now I keep expectin' you
to walk back in again

Take these chains,
I don't want 'em anymore
my heart is aflame
and I've opened up the door
take these chains,
release me from your spell
whenever you go,
I wish you well

Darlin' please forgive me,
I came on a little strong
I really tried, but my tongue got tied
and the words came out all wrong
when I see you lost and lonely, a little dazzled by the life
well I guess I'd do about anything
to make you feel alright And now I cry in the pourin' rain
and I don't know why I'm beggin' you
to break my heart again

Take these chains,
I don't want 'em anymore
my heart is aflame
and I've opened up the door
take these chains,
release me from your spell
whenever you go,
I wish you well

(INSTRUMENTAL)

I saw you laugh in the pourin' rain
but any second now I keep expectin' you
to walk back in again

Take these chains,
I don't want 'em anymore
my heart is aflame
and I've opened up the door
take these chains,
release me from your spell
whenever you go,
I wish you well

(SOLO)

I wish you well,
I wish you well
