Bm
Say you're gonna leave me
         A
'Cause I only tie you up
Bm
I always loved you tender
        A
But you only like it rough
Bm
Woman bound for glory
            A
Why you're leavin' me again?
E
Gonna pack your bags
                        F#m
And leave this house of pain

Heartache's all around me
How many times we tried
Said she tried to leave me
But her hands were always tied
If I had it all to do
I'd keep it just the same
Gonna fix it so you never leave
This house of pain
