The [F#] chains are gone from heaven
[C#] The storms are wild and free
[A#m] There's other ways to [F#] answer
[C#] That certainly is true
[G#] Me I'm blind with death and anger
[C#] And that's no [F#] place [C#] for you
[G#] There's a [F] woman in [A#m] the window
[F#] There's a bed in [C#] Tinseltown
