Lyrics

Chains Chains

Jack of Diamonds is a gambling man

He played the tables whenever he can

Take some advice boy, stay clean, stay out of his way

Little Jeannie is a dancing queen

She's been shaking it since she was sixteen

Skips across the tables, acting out her passion play

It wasn't for money, it's only a chance

You take a gamble, that shot for romance

Chains, chains pulling you down

Chain of love that turns the world around

Chains chains, pulling you down

Chain of love that turns the world around

Without a warning, Jeannie took off one night

Jack got so mean boy, he just had to fight

He died on the floor, someone else evens the score

Back on the tables, Jeannie's romance had died

That one look of love that told her a lie

And for her there's no wave crashing on seashores

It wasn't for money, it's only a chance

You take a gamble, that shot for romance

Chains, chains pulling you down

Chain of love that turns the world around

Chains chains, pulling you down

Chain of love that turns the world around

Chains, chains

Chains, chains
