"Chains Around My Heart" is a song co-written by American musicians Richard Marx and Fee Waybill, originally recorded by Australian singer John Farnham under the title "Chains Around the Heart" as the B-side to his 1990 single "Burn for You". Marx then recorded his own version of the song for his third studio album, Rush Street (1991), and released it as the album's fourth and final single in 1992.
