[Intro]

G F F C Bb x4

[Verse 1]

G F
Tonight I'll have a look
F C Bb
And try to find my face again
G F
Buried beneath this house
F C Bb
My spirit screams and dies again
G F
Out back a monster wears a
F C Bb
cloak of Persian leather
G F
Behind the TV screen
F C
I've fallen to my knees

[Pre-Chorus]

G
I said you've got me where you want me
Bb C
Again and I can't turn away
G F C
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like a fool
G Bb C
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
G
I want to get away
F C
I need to get away

[Verse 2]

G
Blanket of silence
F F C Bb
makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
G F
Burn all the evidence
F C Bb
A fabricated disbelief
G F F C Bb
Pull back the curtains take a look into your eyes
G F F C
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies I said

[Pre-Chorus]

G
You've got me where you want me
Bb C
Again and I can't turn away
G F C
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like a fool
G Bb C
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
G
I want to get away
F C
I need to get away

[Chorus]

G F
Now you know
Bb C G
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
F Bb C G
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
F Bb
chained down, like a sitting duck
C G
Just waiting for the fall
F Bb C
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

[Instrumental]
G F F C Bb x2

[Verse 3]

G
Deep in the jungle
F F C Bb
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
G F
A hand holds up the sky
F C Bb
While shamefully I make my plea
G
The alter's callin'
F F C Bb
But my legs won't seem to stand
G
Guess I'm a coward
F F C
Scared to face the man I am I said

[Pre-Chorus]

G
You've got me where you want me
Bb C
Again and I can't turn away
G F C
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like a fool
G Bb C
I'm stuck here right between the shadows of my yesterday
G
I want to get away
F C
I need to get away

[Chorus]

G F
Now you know
Bb C G
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
F Bb C G
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
F Bb
chained down, like a sitting duck
C G
Just waiting for the fall
F Bb C
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

[Solo]

G F Bb C x4

[Chorus]

Now you know

F Bb C G
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide

Just waiting for the fall
F Bb C G
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
