It's something heavy, I've been dragging it around [G#m] behind me
[B] With every labored step and movement it [C#] reminds me
That I [B] cannot escape, and I [F#] want to give up
Give in, pretend this is all I'm in, [B] this freedom
Oh keep my head down, don't give you [C#] a reason
[B] To look my way
[C#] Cause I'm too ashamed to meet your eyes, [D#m] to speak your name
Scared that I'll [B] be held in chains, bound in [F#] lies forever
And [C#] I long to hear a sound like something [D#m] metal
And shattered, oh [B] shame
Is [C#] a chain, love is [F#] a hammer
Some days I want to
Find you in a crowd and sneak up right [B] behind you
Maybe touch your clothes and steal some power [C#] from you
And sneak [B] away again
Some days [F#] I'd rather
Hide out in a tree that you were [B] walking under
Hope great that you don't say you're coming [C#] over
Cause I don't want [G#m] to let you in
Oh [C#] but you don't wait to be invited
[D#m] You're kicking down my door with bad [B] mercy
And completely [F#] taking over
And [C#] I swear I hear a sound like something [D#m] metal
Being shattered, [B] oh shame
Is [C#] a chain, love [F#] is a hammer
Oh oh [B] oh oh oh
[F#] oh oh oh [B] oh oh
[C#] Oh please [F#m] be careful
The man beneath these chains is frail [B] and fragile
And I warned them for so long that they [C#] feel natural
The truth [B] is I'm afraid
[D#] [C#] But if anyone can understand [D#m] it's you
Cause on your feet and hands
[B] Prove what you did and how [F#] you suffered
When [C#] the nails went in
The sound of sin [D#m] forever being shattered
[B] Oh shame, is [C#] a chain, love is [F#] a hammer
Oh
[B] shame, [C#] is a chain, love [F#] is a hammer
[B] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh [F#] oh oh oh [B] oh
