Well it's been ten years and [G#] a thousand deals, [F#] and look at the mess [C#] I'm in.
A broken nose [G#] and a broken heart, [F#] and a deep [C#] long left chin.
Well I sit and [G#] I pray, [F#] in my broken down [C#]
Chevrolet.
While I'm singing to [G#] myself, [F#] there's got to be [C#] another way.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away this [C#] falling chain.
Well I'm lonely [G#] and I'm tired, [F#] and I can't [C#] take any more pain.
Take away, [G#] take away, and [F#] I do [C#] it trouble again.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey.
Take away this [C#] falling chain.
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
Well I searched and I [G#] searched, [F#] to find the perfect [C#] life.
A brand new car and [G#] a brand new suit, [F#] I even got a new [C#] little wife.
But I'm blind, [G#] [F#] I'm gonna shower by [C#] myself now.
You can run all [G#] your life, [F#] but not go [C#] anywhere.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away this [C#] falling chain.
Well I'm sick [G#] and I'm tired, [F#] and I can't take [C#] any more pain.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] and I do it [C#] trouble again.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey.
Take away this [C#] falling chain.

Well I passed the [G#] bottom of the way, to [F#] my dingy hotel [C#] room.
I spent all [G#] my money, on [F#] being drinking since half [C#] past noon.
Well I wake up every [G#] morning, [F#] oh baby if I [C#] can't reach you.
Turns out my heart is [G#] getting harder, [F#] I'm on the news, it just [C#] didn't feel.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away this [C#] falling chain.
Well I'm lonely [G#] and I'm tired, [F#] and I can't take [C#] any more pain.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] and I do it [C#] trouble again.
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey.
