(Take these chains from my heart and set me free)



Take these chains from my heart and set me free

You've grown cold and no longer care for me

All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on

Take these chains from my heart and set me free



Take these tears from my eyes and let me see

Just a spark of the love that used to be

If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too

Take these chains from my heart and set me free







Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy)

Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be)

Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there

Take these chains from my heart and set me free



Take these chains from my heart and set me free (set me free)
