Chains

C F Am G 2x C Midnight F Am I stare out the window from my room G C I hear the dogs, it's going to be dawn soon F Am G I wonder where you are C In my mind's eye F Am I’m floating alone in the night sky G C The treetops, the buildings beneath me F Am G I feel my heart beating C F Am G C F Am So I try to find anything G C To k**l the time, to quiet my mind F Am There's got to be something G N.C. There's gotta be someone Am F C G Else still awake, in this city I can't take Am F Another night, and I can’t stay C G I've got to break, a-break, a-break C F Am G These chains away, away C F Am G Ooh, ooh, ooh C The bars close F Am We stumble around through the echoes G C Hiding our past in some old clothes F Am G Like it's some dirty secret C F Am And I see your face in the passing light G It's so good tonight C I'm tired of putting up this fight F Am There's got to be somewhere G N.C. There's got to be someone Am F C G Else still alive, in this city I can't hide Am F Another night, and I can't stay C G I've got to break, a-break, a-break C F Am G These chains away, away C F Am G These chains away, away C F Ooh, ooh, ooh Am G Ooh, ooh, ooh Middle 8 Am F They lead into the wind C G Riding on nerves and choking engines Am F Built for a time now fifty years gone C G I can hear them whispering at the dawn Am F When I'm alone in this cell C G With ten thousand words and nowhere to go Am F C G And I wish you could know, how much I still need you Am F C G Pre-Chorus 3 Am F The spell of this town C G The graves on the hill lit up like a crown Am F The names on the signs, I can't even say C G N.C. How to break, a-break, a-break C F Am G These chains away, away C F Am G These chains away, away Am F C G C F Am G Sometimes I feel the pain at the heart of this ember C F Am G All these ashes I choke on, does anyone remember C F Am G Where we came from, why we came to a place with no center C F Am G C F Am G C F Am G C
