Lyrics

[Chorus]

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain of fools

[Verse 1]

For five long years

I thought you were my man

But I found out

I'm just a link in your chain

Oh, you got me where you want me

I ain't nothing but your fool

You treated me mean

Oh, you treated me cruel

[Chorus]

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain of fools

[Verse 2]

Every chain

Has got a weak link

I might be weak, child

But I'll give you strength, oh yeah

[Bridge]

You told me to leave you alone

My father said, "Come on home"

My doctor said, "Take it easy"

Oh, but your lovin' is much too strong

I'm added to your

[Chorus]

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Your chain of fools

[Verse 3]

Oh, one of these mornings

The chain is gonna break

But up until then, yeah

I'm gonna take all I can take, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)

Chain of fools

[Outro]

Oh

Chain, chain, chain

Chain, chain, chain

Oh, oh

Chain, chain, chain

Your chain of fools
