came with Red Heaven. The `Chains Changed’ version differs slightly (a)
the lyric structure is slightly different and (b) there is a slight intro.
Also the lyrics are only approximate.

G
You move me and the chains changed
Em
I take a nervous space
month after month
C
after month
D
mouth after mouth after mouth
G
I said a nightmare
Em
Complete with barking dogs and coke machines
C
Keep feeding my baby chicken
D
Keep touching like spacemen
G
I’m obviously confused, I said
Em
I’m more, more worried for you than for me
C D
And he (?)
G
Cry baby cry
Em
Cry, fight it
C
I’m not ever getting out
D
I am always getting sicker
G Em
I found last September in a notebook
C
It was too much for the book to hold
D
That’s how come I wore raincoats
G
I said first a suicide
Em
without a note and now a note without a suicide
C D
First a look without a note and a look without a suicide
G
She said maybe death is my answer
Em C D
But love is the answer of life
G
Cry baby cry cry
Em
I fight it
C
I’m not ever getting out
D
I am always getting sicker
G
She said first a suicide
Em
without a note and now a note without a suicide
C
I said maybe death is my answer
D G
But love is the answer of life.
