[Verse 1]
Well it's [A]been ten years, and a [E]thousand tears
And [D]look at the mess I'm [A]in
A broken nose and a [E]broken heart,
An [D]empty bottle of [A]gin
Well I sit and I [E]pray
In my [D]broken down Chevro[A]let
While I'm singin' to [E]myself
There's [D]got to be another [A]way

[Chorus 1]
Take [A]away, take [E]away
Take a[D]way this ball and [A]chain
I'm lonely and I'm [E]tired
And I [D]can't take any more [A]pain
Take away, take [E]away
Never [D]to return [A]again
Take away, take [E]away
Take a[D]way

[Verse 2]
Well I've [A]searched and I've [E]searched
To [D]find the perfect [A]life
A brand new car and a [E]brand new suit
I [D]even got me a little [A]wife
But wherever I have [E]gone
I was [D]sure to find myself [A]there
You can run all your [E]life
But not [D]go any[A]where

[Chorus 2]
Take [A]away, take [E]away
Take a[D]way this ball and [A]chain
I'm lonely and I'm [E]tired
And I [D]can't take any more [A]pain
Take away, take [E]away
Never [D]to return [A]again
Take away, take [E]away
Take a[D]way

[Verse 3]
Well I'll [A]pass the bar on the [E]way
To my [D]dingy hotel [A]room
I spent all my [E]money
Been [D]drinkin' since a half past [A]noon
I'll wake there in the [E]mornin'
Or [D]maybe in the county [A]jail
Times are hard getting [E]harder
I'm born to [D]lose and destined to [A]fail

[Chorus 3]
Take [A]away, take [E]away
Take a[D]way this ball and [A]chain
I'm lonely and I'm [E]tired
And I [D]can't take any more [A]pain
Take away, take [E]away
Never [D]to return [A]again
Take away, take [E]away
Take a[D]way
