Chains of Love Lyrics

[Intro]
How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose?
How can I explain
When words get broken?
(Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Do you remember?
There was a time aha-ha
When people on the street
Were walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever

[Chorus]
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love

[Verse 2]
Do you remember?
Once upon a time aha-ha
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers
[Chorus]
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up now (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

[Bridge]
How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose?
How can I explain
When words get broken?

[Pre-Chorus]
We used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever

[Chorus]
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up now (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
[Outro]
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up now (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
