verse 1
********
C G
Let me out, I can't breathe
C
Gotta get out of this concrete hole
C G
I'm wrecked and I'm decked

I've gotta break free before I lose control
C G
Cast the lines away
Am
From the dock at the harbour bay

It's a fine bright day
F
And the wind is blowing our way
verse 2
********
C G
Set me free, I can't be

Locked in a cage before I loose my mind

I'm Wired, And I'm tired
C
Gotta lose my chains and leave it all behind

So cast the lines away

From the dock at the harbour bay
