     E              B          E                A
You came into this world with eyes as clear as water
                                    E
You didn't look a thing like your grandmother's
 B
daughter
                           E              A
With a heart so heavy and beating like a drum
                                       E
Yeah, neither did you look like your grandfather's
 B
son

Chorus:
       C#m A B E
We're chained,
         A
And when everything else changes
     E                  B
Our love will stay the same
       C#m A B E
We're chained,
         A
And when everything else goes away,
     E                 B
Our love will still remain
        E    A E B E A E
We're chained

Wilder than a brushfire burns deep inside
the bramble
Baby, I think God made your soul born to ramble
Maybe you'll take to the faraway places
Where life is gonna deal you a hand full of aces
But it doesn't really matter how great the spaces

Chorus

Life has a fuse and it burns with quickness
But death ain't the long twisted branch of sickness
Just as the spark gives birth to a flame
We'll be bound by our love and then the family name

Chorus
