BREAKING THE CHAINS As recorded by Dokken (From the 1983 Album BREAKING THE CHAINS) [Intro] E5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 E5 [Verse 1]
E5
Sit there thinking

C5
In your room

D5
You feel the pressure

E5
You're going crazy too

E5
The walls around you

E5
Closing in

                  G5
You need a change

E5
Claustrophobic

C5
Feeling scared

D5
You need somebody

    E5
But no one seems to care

E5
A one way ticket

C5
A change of pace

D5
You've had enough

E5         D5 C5 E5 A5 G5
Can't take no more
[Chorus 1]
             E5                C5
Breaking the chains around you

       E5                G5
Nobody else can bind you

            E5
Take a good look around you

C5  D5     E5
Now you're breaking the chains
[Interlude] D5 C5 D5 E5 [Verse 2]
E5
Got this letter

C5
Came today

D5
From my baby

E5
Who left me yesterday

E5
Said she loves me

C5
She'll come back

D5               G5
She wants to try

E5
I won't let her

C5
She'll be upset

D5
I know it's better

E5
Than something I'll regret

D5
She's been dishonest

C5
And insincere

E5
I lost my mind

       D5    C5     A5 G5
Twenty times a year
[Chorus 2]
             E5                C5
Breaking the chains around me

       E5               G5
Nobody else can bind me

            E5
Take a good look around me

C5  D5  E5
Now I'm breaking the chains
[Guitar Solo] E5 D5 C5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 G5 E5 C5 E5 [Verse 3]
E5
Woke up today

C5
I'm alone

D5
I look around

E5
But, baby, you were gone

E5
But I don't mind

C5
And I don't worry

E5             G5
I will survive

E5
I'm alone

C5
Now that you're gone

D5
Don't need nobody

E5
To hold or tie me down

E5
I broke the chains

C5
So let me be

E5              C5 A5
I've gotta be free
[Chorus 2]
             E5                C5
Breaking the chains around me

       E5                G5
Nobody else can bind me

            E5
Take a good look around me

C5  D5  E5
Now I'm breaking the chains

             E5                C5
Breaking the chains around me

       E5                G5
Nobody else can bind me

            E5
Take a good look around me

C5  D5  E5
Now I'm breaking the chains!
