He is a boy whose life's the same thing everyday

Take away your ball and chain  
                              F 
The thought just makes me shutter,

But then how once its gone it never seems to last

Take away your ball and chain  
                              F 
The thought just makes me shutter,  
                                 C 
Of you sipping that blood and pain

Don’t fall into that gutter gutter again
