Everything I've ever done's gone belly up or bust 
Don't ask you to believe me now, I don't deserve your 
trust 
Just let me prove to you that I'm a new man, I've gone 
straight 
Next time that I see you let's pretend it's our first 
date 
I looked into my past and I don't' much like what I see 
A chain around my neck of things that I don't want to 
be 
A chain around my neck of lies and bitterness and pride 
A chain that doesn't let you see the man I am inside 
Chain around my neck 
Chain around my neck 
Can't move this way or that way 
A train that's jumped its track 
It don't let me move forward 
It don't let me move back 
Chain around my, chain around my neck 
Chain around my, chain around my neck 
If you left me now, no one could say that you were 
wrong 
But my life is a place where I am certain you belong 
I know that our love can be as solid as a rock 
All I need is one more chance, baby to unlock 
This chain around my neck 
Chain around my neck 
Can't move this way or that way 
A train that's jumped its track 
I t don't let me move forward 
It don't let me move back 
Chain around my, chain around my neck 
Chain around my, chain around my neck 
Each link on the chain is choking 
But each link on the chain can be broken 
Each link takes takes your love away from me 
But only your love can set me free 
From this chain around my neck 
This chain around my neck 
Can't move this way or that way 
A train that's jumped its track 
It don't let me move forward 
It don't let me move back 
Chain around my, chain around my neck 
Chain around my, chain around my neck 
Chain around my, chain around my neck
