Introduction:
E7(9) Bm7(b5) A7(13) A7
Alone from night to night you'll find me,
D7M D D6 F#m Bb9
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
Em G/B A7(13) Eº
I need no shackles to remind me

I'm just a prisoner of love.

For one command I stand and wait now,

From one who's master of my fate now

I can't escape, for it's too late now

I'm just a prisoner of love.

What's the good of my caring
F#m C#7 F#m B9 F#m C#7
If someone is sharing those arms with me?

Although she has another,
F#m C#7 F# C#7 A7
I can't have another, for I'm not free.
E7(9) Bm7(b5) A7(13) A7
She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping,
D7M D D6 F#m Bb9
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
Em G/B A7(13) Eº
My very life is in her keeping
D Gm D
I'm just a prisoner of love
