I Won’t Try to Put Chains on Your Soul

[Verse 1]
I was your shadow 'til the night came fallin'
Then it's her
Go on and go if you've made up your mind
And it's her you prefer
All this weepin' and a-waitin' that's goin' on
I'm gonna let you go

[Chorus]
'Cause I (I)
(I won't) Oh, I won't try (I)
(I won't try) I won't try to put chains on your soul

[Verse 2]
If she's your daybreak, your mornin' sun
And the light in my window is gone
If she's the one that makes you feel like a man
Ah, baby, ain't no use in me holdin' on
If what I got to give you
Ain't enough to keep you home

[Chorus]
Oh, I (I)
(I won't) Oh, I won't try (I)
(I won't try) I won't try to put chains
(Chains on your soul) Chains on your soul

[Bridge]
Whoa, baby, what I 'd do for you (Oh, baby)
I wouldn't do it again
I'll live without it
I'm really dyin' (I'm dyin') shape that I'm in (Shape that I'm in)
I know it's a sin
But I can't do a thing about it

[Verse 3]
Before you break up
Everything inside of me (Everything inside of me)
Well, I wanna make it
Easy now
Gonna set you free (Free), I mean (free, free)
Set you free (Free)

[Chorus]
Ah, baby, 'cause I (I)
Whoa, I (I won't try)
I won't try (I)
Won't try (No, I won't try)
I won't try (I) to put chains (No, I won't try)
Chains on your soul (Chains on your soul)

[Outro]
I (I) won't try (No chains) chains on your soul
No, no, (No) chains on your soul
There'll be (I) no chains (No chains) chains on your soul (I won't try)
I won't try (No, no), I won't try (No chains on your soul)
To put a chain (I), (No) chain on your soul (I won't try)
No chain (No, no) chain on your soul
