Intro (no guitar)
=====

Verse (no guitar)
=====
Everything crashed
His wife left him 
He lost all his money 
And most of his friends
He lay awake all night 
Lonely and desperate 
Contemplating starting again

Chorus (no guitar)
======
These chains are all your own
These chains are comfortable

Verse (Gtr. 1 strums chords)
=====
Em              D
  Four in the morning
C               G 
  Sat in the kitchen 
Bb              F
  Keys on the table
     Em             A 
Went out for a drive
Em              D
  He didn't know 
C               G
  Where he was going 
Bb         F
  Didn't know 
   Em           A
If he was alive 

Bridge (Gtr. 1 strums chords)
======
E
 The dawn was breaking
F#
 A new day was rising
A                  G
 Shadows creepin' over the fields
E
 He watched the pink light
F#
 Steal across the horizon 
C#m                C
 He realised ...he saw with new eyes 

Chorus (Gtr. 1 strums chords)
======
G       D/F#      Em       D/F#
 These chains are all your own 
C       G/B       Am
 These chains are comfortable
Em    D         A/C#    C
 This cage was never locked
Em    D         A/C#     C  B
 Born free but scared to be
