TITLE: Back on the Chain Gang
Lyrics and Chords


I found a picture of you, o-o-oh
You had hijacked my world at night
To a place in the past we've been cast out of, o-o-oh
Now we're back in the fight

/ D A G - / / / / 

We're back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang

/ Em A Em A / Em A D A G - /

Circumstance beyond our control, o-o-oh
The phone, TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from Hell, o-o-oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies

Put us back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you

/ Dm A / / / / 

Well, I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part

/ Dm A / / / Dm A - E B A - / E B A - /

I found a picture of you, o-o-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart

/ E B A - / / / / 

Now I'm back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang

/ F#m B F#m B / F#m B E B A - /
