Biography:

Patti Rothberg (born 1972) is a New York-based singer, songwriter, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and painter/artist.

Born in New York City, Rothberg grew up in Scarsdale N.Y., playing piano from the age of 3 and writing songs by the age of 15, joining a high school Rod Stewart covers band. She later travelled through Europe and America, busking to support herself (an activity which would later inform the lyrics to the title song of her debut album, "Between the 1 and the 9").

INTRO

B Bsus4 D A5
B Bsus4 D A5

VERSE 1

B Bsus4 D A5
He's trying hard to keep control and lead the way
B Bsus4 D A5
He's finding all the perfect words to say to me
B Bsus4 D A5
I'm climbing stairs with only one thing on my mind
B Bsus4 D A5
To kick a habit of lost opportunity

G5 F#5 G5 F5
It's only natural to want what doesn't come
F#5 G5 F5
I swiped away all of the pauns under my thumb
F#5 G5 F5
but like the ending of a one act play
F#5 G5 A5
the curtain closes and the actors run away and I'm


CHORUS

B Bsus4 D A5
Up against the wall
B Bsus4 D A5
wondering why I came at all
B Bsus4 D A5
Yes I'm up against the wall
G5 F#5 F5
Trying to disappear.....

VERSE 2

I look around and watch the world as it goes by
Wondering, how small, how small am I?
He makes a gesture to distract me from a thought
He goes against most everything that I've been taught.

It's when you wake up and you can't go back to sleep
It's when you wonder 'bout the company you keep
It's when you wake up in the middle of your life
You just can't cut it with the dull end of a knife

CHORUS

Up against the wall
wondering why I came at all
Yes I'm up against the wall
Trying to disappear.....

VERSE 3

You know the way you're walking makes U seem larger than life.
As you turn the key to your door - you're turning me on.
And my mind spins HIGH above the world.
That's the way I feel.

It's only natural to want what doesn't come
I swiped away all of the pauns under my thumb
but like the ending of a one act play
the curtain closes and the actors run away and I'm

CHORUS
Up against the wall
wondering why I came at all
Yes I'm up against the wall
Trying to disappear.....
Trying to disappear.....
Trying to disappear.....^Z
