Testo Sounds like chains Graham Parker

Sounds like chains

Pre>(the backing vocals at the ends of the lines are sung twice)

Intro c#m a (twice)

C#m a

I got to break this armour, cutting off all the feeling (dont wear it)

Its like a melodrama, everybodys scene stealing (just bear it)

Its always the same old number, they never let you out of school (its nothing)

Well I gotta gun thats loaded, I want to hurt some fool (dont shoot it)

Chorus

C#mb a b

Well the woods are full of wardens,

C#m b a b

They are digging up remains

C#m b a b

It feels like the big stick that smacks of oppression

B (g#m7) c#m

And it sounds like chains

Repeat intro

I wanna bite the hand, bite off the hand that fed me (dont eat it)

I want to turn the knife, turn the knife that bled me (you need it)

Youve got it all wrong, you never heard what I said (dont worry)

Well I got a gun thats loaded, its not pointing at my head

(dont rush it, dont hurry)

Chorus 2

No-one can keep these ropes around me, or take the blood out of my veins

Ill just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger

And it sounds like chains

E b c#m c#m

Instrumental then "sounds like chains" 4 times then "oooh chains" and

More instrumental bits.

Choruus 3

Nothing hurts me any longer, there isnt room for any pain

Ill just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger

And it sounds like chains

Oooh chains, sounds like chains, ooh chains, sounds like chains

(repeat and fade) /pre>
