[Verse 1]
There's a madman in the corner of your eye
He likes to pry into your sunlight
He wants to burst into the street with you and I
A world of shadows and of rain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He's seen what love is...
He wants to pay you back with guilt...

[Chorus]
He lies to you; he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery, yeah
He's got your chains of misery

[Verse 2]
There's a prophet in the gutter in the street
He says, "You're damned!" and you believe him...
He's got a vision, but it shines out through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear...

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He's felt what love means...
He wants to pay you back with pain
[Chorus]
He lies to you; he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery

He lies to you; he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery

[Break]
It's only love that holds the key
To your heart...
It's only love...

[Guitar Solo: Dave Murray]

[Chorus]
He lies to you; he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery

He lies to you; he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery
