A beautiful ballad from the Holding Back The River album
Sounds great as a solo piece.
Standard tuning, capo at 3rd fret
Verse 1
=======
I I live a perfect life
All I ever want lies for-given
Took a-way all of those chains and said
Broke a-way -ay -ay -ay they
G/f#
Bro-oke a -way
Verse 2
=======
Do you lead a better life
Even when the sweet turns to bitter
Took a-way all of our chains and said
Broke a-way -ay -ay -ay they
G/f#
Bro-oke a -way
Chorus 1
========
Walking round and out of place
Knowing that you've had a taste
Walking round and out of place
And knowing what you're gonna do to
Break down those chains
I can't tell you, wo, oh, oh
Took a-way all of our chains and said
Broke a-way -ay -ay -ay they
G/f#
Bro-oke a -way
Verse 3
=======
Got a-way with my am-bition
Only if I want it only if I don't
Took a-way all of those chains and said
Broke a-way -ay -ay -ay they
G/f#
Bro-oke a -way
Chorus 2
========
Walking round and out of place
Knowing that you've had a taste
Walking round and out of place
And nothing what you're gonna do to
Break out on me
I can't tell you wo, oh, oh
Took a-way all of your chains and said they
Broke a-way -ay -ay -ay they
G/f#
Bro-oke a -way
Chorus 3
========
Walking round and out of place
And knowing that I’ve had a taste
Walking round and out of place
And knowing what you're gonna do to
Break down those chains
I can't tell you wo, oh, oh
Take a-way all of those chains and say
Broke a-way -ay -ay -ay they
G/f#
Bro-oke a -way
