Ball Chain

Intro:
A Bb A Eb Ab Bb A Eb 



[Verso 1]
 
A 
I'm contemplating, reflecting on my life 
    A 
I'm pondering my options and listening to advice 
   A 
Considering the price I've paid, observing what I've done 
    A 
I'm weighing all the pros and cons, the things I've lost and won 
    A 
The race I've run, the pace I've had, the choices that I've made 
    A 
The path that I've been treading on it isn't always paved 
    A 
I'm well behaved, I'm not depraved, I'm reasonably sane 
        A 
But the burdens that I carry are a h?avy ball and chain 
 


[Refrão]
 
Bb                Dm 
All of problems I face 
                    Bb 
Every scar l?aves a trace 
                        Dm 
For all the faults I create 
                    A 
I have to carry the weight 
 


[Verso 2]
 
A 
I'm meditating, rejecting all my strife 
    A 
I'm focusing on positives, reducing sacrifice 
    A 
The only paradise we have is what we all become 
  A 
A piece of mine for peace of mind we're sharing all the crumbs 
A 
Everyone and anyone deserves a big upgrade 
    A 
The wrath we've all experienced has mostly been man made 
      A 
We've been betrayed we've been portrayed as mentally insane 
    A 
And misery loves company, prepare to share the pain 
 


[Refrão]
 
Bb                Dm 
All of problems I face 
                    Bb 
Every scar l?aves a trace 
                        Dm 
For all the faults I create 
                    Bb 
I have to carry the weight 
                  Dm 
All of problems I face 
                    Bb 
Every scar l?aves a trace 
                        Dm 
For all the faults I create 
                    A 
I have to carry the weight  


Solo: A 


[Verso 3]
 
A 
I'm hesitating I'm sceptical at best 
A 
Sometimes it feels like I'm clinically depressed 
    A 
Put to the test I must confess that I'm no good with pain 
   A 
Am I insane to that I could go against the grain 
    A 
Can I maintain my sanity outside my comfort zone 
    A 
I'm hesitant of whether I can walk the line alone 
   A 
Am I a clone or skin and bone what's my given name 
   A 
Do I exist is all this a stupid fucking game
