Chain Letter Lyrics

(Larry Tagg/Jenni Muldaur)

Oh I read what you wrote 
Feels like chains to me 
You keep me tied up 
With your talk about love 
That never sets us free

When I read what you say 
I hear desparation In every cliche
You're daring me to break

I read your letter
And it feels like chains
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
And it feels like chains
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you

Goodbye you said goodbye 
You hurt me so bad
Then you come back 
I hear your steps in the hall
And a letter under the door
When I read what you say
We've made a terrible mistake
And it's more than I can take

I read your letter
And it feels like chains
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
And it feels like chains
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you

By now all the sweet things
You're begging to say
Are just marks on a page
I hear calculation
I hear desparation
I hear you daring me to break

I read your letter
And it feels like chains
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
And it feels like chains
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you
