F, Csus2/D, Am / x2
VERSE (Palm muted)

Wake up, to this burning in my bed.
Am
I used the water when I should have used the gasoline instead.
G C
It gets me nowhere, it gets me nowhere
Wake up, with those demons in my head
Am
You’re not that great, give up, you may as well do something else instead
G C
It gets me nowhere, it gets me nowhere
Chorus
C G Am
And every day I’ll beat my head against this wall
F(barred) G(barred)
It gets me nowhere, it gets me nowhere
C G Am
The glacial pace of everything just leaves me cold
F(barred) G(barred)
And gets me nowhere, it gets me nowhere
PLAY INTRO RIFF
PLAY VERSE (No longer palm muted)
Wake up to this burning in your beds!
Will you douse the fire or add your mattress to the barricades instead?
Where does this leave us? No choice at all!
Rage fed, by the injustice of it all.
Princes are paupers and the greatest thieves among us still walk tall
What does this leave us? No choice at all!
PLAY CHORUS
And everyday we’ll beat our heads against this wall
It gets us nowhere, it gets us nowhere
The glacial pace of everything just leaves us cold
And gets us nowhere, it gets us nowhere
But we’ll push through
PLAY INTRO
OUTRO (ring out each chord)
C G Am
And everyday I beat my head against this wall
F(barred) G(barred)
It gets me nowhere, it gets me nowhere.
