Chain Link Hearts

[CHORUS] FEMALE

FEMALE: Oh, Mr. Sheriff, put your keys upon the shelf

FEMALE: My boy is just a loner, he was keeping to himself

FEMALE: He’s got a reputation that he’s rotten to the core

FEMALE: But he’s the only one that I’ll be waiting for

FEMALE: Oh, Mr. Sheriff, put your keys upon the shelf

[VERSE 1] FEMALE

FEMALE: I’m standing by the fence in the pouring rain

FEMALE: Calling out his name through the metal and the chain

FEMALE: They say he’s a delinquent, a rebel with a vice

FEMALE: But they don't see the boy who treats a lady nice

[REFRAIN] FEMALE

FEMALE: Open up the gate, yeah yeah yeah

FEMALE: Don't make me wait, whoa ho ho

FEMALE: My heart's in lockdown until you let him go!

[BRIDGE] MALE

MALE: Hey Little Darling, can you hear me through the wall?

MALE: I’m bouncing this old rubber ball against the hall

MALE: Tell the warden I’m a changed man, tell him I’ll be good

MALE: I’ll trade this denim jacket for a life in the neighborhood!

[VERSE 2] MALE

MALE: I’m sick of eating sawdust and I’m sick of counting bars

MALE: I miss our Friday nights underneath the lucky stars

MALE: I didn’t start the rumble, I didn’t pull the knife

MALE: Don't let these cold gray towers steal away my life!

[OUTRO] BOTH

FEMALE: I’ll be right here waiting!

MALE: I’m coming home to you!

BOTH: Yeah, yeah, yeah!

FEMALE: He’s my chain link baby!

MALE: I’m her chain link man!

BOTH: Break the locks and free us any way you can!

BOTH: Oh, Mr. Sheriff, won’t you let him go?

BOTH: (Let him go, let him go, let him go!)
