          Cm
With her wine-stained lips, yeah she's nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
She takes 'til I break and I can't get more

Chorus:
                G#                    Cm
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
                 A#                    Fm
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
            G#                    Cm
Got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
                 A#                     Fm
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love

Tryna break the chains, but the chains only wring me
 Cm
Hey, hey, hey, (hey) tryna break the chains
but the chains only wring me

Alone in the night 'til she knocks on my door, oh no
Wasted again, but I can't say no, whoa
Baby, tell me why, why you do, do me wrong?
Baby, tell me why, why you do, do me wrong?
Gave you my heart, but you took my soul

Chorus:
You got me in chains (Oh baby)
You got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change (I wouldn't change)
No, I wouldn't change this love
You got me in chains
You got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change (I wouldn't change)
No, I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains, but the chains only break me
Tryna break the chains, but the chains only break me

(You got me in)
Baby, tell me why, why you do, do me wrong?
Baby, tell me why, why you do, do me wrong?
Gave you my heart, but you took my soul

Chorus:
You got me in chains
You got me in chains for your love
I wouldn't change
I wouldn't change this love
You got me chains (Oh baby)
You got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change (Ooh)
I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains,
but the chains only break me
