Title:
“Chained to the Rhythm”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G
Running with the shadows, in the dead of night
F C
Lost in the chaos, out of sight
Am G
We’ve been down this road, a time or two
F C
Just to find our way, back to you
(Chorus)
G Am
Chained to the rhythm, we break the ties
F C
Shout out the pain, under the clear skies
G Am
Chained to the rhythm, we rise with the sun
F C
Reckless and free, we’ve only begun
(Verse 2)
Am G
Dancing in the moonlight, breaking free
F C
Caught in the fire, just you and me
Am G
We’ve fought the battles, and paid the price
F C
In this game of life, we throw the dice.
(Chorus)
G Am
Chained to the rhythm, we break the ties
F C
Shout out the pain, under the clear skies
G Am
Chained to the Rhythm, we rise with the sun
F C
Reckless and free, we’ve only begun
(Outro)
Am G
Chasing the echoes, in the silent night
F C
With hearts blazing, in the silver light
Am G
We are the Reckless Mass, we own the fight
F C
Chained to the rhythm, we take flight
