[Verse]

C                                F              C    F
I've been on this roller coaster just too many times
    C                              F                     C    G
And always it seems like the blind, keep on leading the blind
Am                G
Tried to get them on the phone
Am                G
Tried to find my way back home
C                     F                   C   G
Tried and failed, and tried and failed, again


[Bridge]

         F                            G
But baby I don't want you 'cause you look so good
F                           G
I don't want you ''cause I know I should
Am                   F                    G
I don't want you to come in from the rain


[Chorus]

C                   F           C   F
I want you to be my ball and chain
C             F     G            C   F   C   G
I want you to be my ball and chain


[Verse]

        C                F             C           F
Ah just lately I've been roaming from town to town
           C                               F
I've been setting them up, setting them up
                             C   G
And I've been knocking them down
      Am                                 G
I was born to live, it seems, a fugitive dream
Am                        G
Make things always better than they seem
C                           F
  And I stop and start, and stop and start
                     C   G
And stop and start again


[Bridge]

     F                 G
Baby I don't want you for your money
F                           G
I don't want you ''cause I love you honey
Am                  F                G
I don't want you to ease this memory pain


[Chorus]

C                 F                 C  F
No, I want you to be my ball and chain
     C             F      G                 C   F   C   G
Yes, I want you to be my, be my ball and chain


[Verse]

 C                        F             C  F
Ah when I see you in the garden once again
 C                      F               C  G
Baby you'll be standing in the summer rain
 Am                             G
Laugh and cry and say what it's all about
Am           G
You can even jump and shout
C                    F                  C  G
And you'll smile and say how are you again


[Bridge]

F                        G
I don't want you ''cause I'm so blue
F                            G
I don't want you ''cause you know what to do
Am                       F                    G
I don't want you because all my love seems in vain


[Chorus]

C             F                 C   F
I want you to be my ball and chain
C             F       G          C   F
I want you to be my - ball and chain
C             F                  C   F
I want you to be my ball and chain
C             F     G         C    F
I want you to be my ball and chain      Oh, be my ball and chain
C             F                        C    F
I want you to be my – Be my ball and chain      be my ball and chain

I want you to be my ball - and chain
