D                               G 
I been known to have a drink or two 
                     D 
In the comfort of my home 
            C# 
It helps to minimize 
    Bm 
The crazy things I hear 
         A 
When I’m alone. 

G 
You’d think by now every sound wouldn't 
D             C# 
Send a memory crashing’ 
         Bm    A  G 
Threw my brain  
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
      A                             D 
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain. 

D C# Bm A  

D                                 G 
Certain little things she used to say 
                          D 
They come though loud and clear 
                 C#                Bm 
It’s sad but I admit that I listen closer 
                        A      G 
Than I did when she was here 
Now every noise sounds like her voice 
        D                C#               Bm   A  G 
And I’m torn between the pleasure and the pain 
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles 
      A                             D 
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain.
