  • (I move away, it don't do me no good)
    (Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would)

    Help me, beggin' you please
    You got the power down on my knees
    Give me some kind of life
    Leave me be

    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart
    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart

    Reach out to me, as if from the grave
    I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave
    It's my fault loving you so
    You were so precious, how could I know
    You turned mean overnight
    Poor, poor, me

    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart
    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart

    I don't owe you anything
    Why don't you get out of my life
    Through it all the memories cling
    And I can't sleep at night

    Help me, I'm beggin' you please
    You've got the power, down on my knees
    Give me some kind of life
    Leave me be

    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart
    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart
    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart
    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart
    Take these chains off
    Take 'em off my heart Writer/s: Robert Sidney Jr. Halligan
