Intro

I get along without you baby

if I only could

There ain't a thing about you baby

that does me any good

But still you try to keep me here

Well, is that just your pride

Everyday with you is like a

roller coaster ride

It's so complicated

it's driving me insane

It's just a ball and chain

Just a ball and chain

Ain't no doubt about it baby

you push me away

Every time I turn my back

you're begging me to stay

Then you leave me hanging on

I don't know where you're at

If I knew you were really gone

Well I could handle that

It's so complicated

it's driving me insane

It's just a ball and chain

Just a ball and chain

I've tried all things I could to

get me off the hook

But still I keep on falling for

every single trick in the book, yeah

All those little games you play babe

used to be fun

Baby we were flying higher

close to the sun

But you're tearing me apart now

All the good is gone

There's a shadow hanging over us

What was right is wrong

It's so complicated,

it's driving me insane

It's just a ball and chain

Just a ball and chai, ian, ian

Just a ball and chain

Just a ball and chai, ian, ian

Just a ball and chain
