I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles

	  		D C# Bm A G A 

D                               G 
I been known to have a drink or two 
                     D 
In the comfort of my home 
            C# 
It helps to minimize 
    Bm 
The crazy things I hear 
         A 
When I’m alone. 

G 
You’d think by now every sound wouldn't 
D             C# 
Send a memory crashing’ 
         Bm    A  G 
Threw my brain  
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
      A                             D 
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain. 

D C# Bm A  

D                                 G 
Certain little things she used to say 
                          D 
They come though loud and clear 
                 C#                Bm 
It’s sad but I admit that I listen closer 
                        A      G 
Than I did when she was here 
Now every noise sounds like her voice 
        D                C#               Bm   A  G 
And I’m torn between the pleasure and the pain 
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
      A                             D 
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain. 

Chorus: 
G 
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
                                    D 
I knew the day she left that I’d be wearing’ 
     A                D      
Them until the end of time 
G 
But everyday’s a battle 
                              D 
Just to keep the burden of my heart 
                          A 
From interfering with my mind. 
             D 
It’s knowing that I’ll always 
                  G 
Have her last goodbye 
              D 
Ringing in my ears 
C#           Bm   D 
Driving me insane 
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
      A                             D 
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain. 

C# Bm A G A 

       D                             G 
Now it seems like every time I turn around 
              D 
Here it comes again 
                C# 
Someone else is telling me 
 Bm                                   A    G 
About the brand new love she wound up in 
I tell myself 
They all mean well 
            D 
But I still tremble 
       C#             Bm   A  G 
At the mention of her name 
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
      A                             D 
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain. 

Chorus: 

G 
No I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
                      A             D 
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain.
