Soul Asylum
Album CANDY FROM A STRANGER
Song: Cradle Chains
       Em7C
Intro:    
        E
It's a shame you're not here
        C
On the cross in my ear
         E
Hearing things loud and clear
        C
Come outside, have no fear
                G
And clear the smoke, get some fresh air
          C
Someone waits, someone cares
        G
In the broad light of day
         C
Trouble seems so far away
        D               D               D           D
At the top of the day   when the reign sways
G                 C
Lose the cradle chain
        Bm              D
Give it up, give it a name
G                  C
The child that remains
           Bm                  D
Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away
Please don't ask me how I am
A little tired, a little scared
I'm not amused, not upset
Don't need a leash, I'm not your pet
So loosen up, feel the breeze
Let me hear— hear you breathe
It's better than, bitter now
When you breathe I love that sound
But you know I'll look after You like no one
Lose the cradle chain
Give it up, give it a name
The child that remains
Nothing's lost, take these chains
Take them away
D  C
D  C
D  C
D  C
If I die before I wake
Light a fuse, bake a cake
I don't mind if I go
Make it quick, don't be slow
But you know I'll remember You like no one
Lose the cradle chain
Give it up, give it a name
The smile that remains
Will take these chains away
SOUL ASYLUM FOREVER
