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.
