            Am
The way you move
            D
Has got me yearning
            Am
The way you move
             D
Has left me burning
Am
I know you know what you're doing to me
D                      Dm7
I know my hands will never be free
Am
I know what it's like to be
     D   Dm7
In chains

The way you move is meant to haunt me
The way you move to tempt and taunt me
I know you knew on the day you were born
I know somehow I should've been warned
I know I walk every midnight to dawn in chains

Chorus:
    Am
In chains
         D  Dm7
I'm in chains
     Am
In chains
         D   Dm7
I'm in chains
F#m
You've got me dying for you
C
Its you that I'm living through
F
You've got me praying to you
A#                         Am
Saying to you anything you want me to
F#m
You've got me reaching for you
C
My souls beseeching me too
F
You've got me singing to you
A#                           Am       D Am D
Bringing to you anything you ask me to

The way you move is mesmerizing
The way you move is hypnotizing
I know I crumble when you are around
Stutter, mumble, a pitiful sound
Stagger, stumble, shackled and bound in chains

Chorus:
In chains, I'm in chains
In chains, I'm in chains
You've got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to...

         D   Dm7
I'm in chains
    Am
In chains
         D   Dm7
I'm in chains
     Am
In chains
         D   Dm7
I'm in chains
    Am
In chains
         D   Dm7
I'm in chains
