(verse 1)
G#              F#
   Tonight I'll have a look
    F#9   C#      B      G#
And try to find my face again
       F#            F#9
Buried beneath this house`
   C#      B        G#
My spirit cries and dies again
F#         F#9
Out back a monster wheres
   C#       B         G#
A cloak of persian leather
F#         F#9
Behind the TV screen
C#          B        G#
I've fallen to my knees

(pre chorus)
(All chords in the pre chorus and chorus are down strokes, with a quick up in between
switching chords. You can here the rthymn in the song)
              G#
I said you've got me where you want me
    B7             C#
And dammit I can't turn away
    G#                      F#                C#
I'm hanging by a thread and Im feeling like a fool
    G#                        B7            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
B                C#               G#
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
F#       B             C#             G#
Oh gosh, I aint got no other place to hide
F#                 B         C#
chained down, like a sitting duck
                 G#
Just waiting for the fall
F#                 B           C#           G#
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

(verse 2)

(intro x 1/2)

G#         F#
   Blanket of silence
F#9             C#       B        G#
makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
         F#
Burn all the evidence
  F#9   C#    B     G#
A fabricated disbelief
F#            F#9       C#        B         G#
Pull back the curtains take a look into your eyes
 F#           F#9         C#           B      G#
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies
