[E][D][A][G]
[E][D][A][G]
[E][D][A][G]

[Verse 1]
[E]Tonight, I'll have a loo[D]k
and try to find [A]my face a[G]gain
[E]Buried beneath this hou[D]se
My spirit screams [A]and dies a[G]gain
[E]Out back, a monster wea[D]rs
a cloak of Per[A]sian leath[G]er
[E]Behind the T V scr[D]een,
I've fallen to [A]my knees
I [G]said, you've

[Pre-chorus 1]
[E]got me where you want me
a[G]gain and I can't [A]turn away
I'm [E]hanging by a thread and I'm
[D]feeling like I'll [A]fall
I'm [E]stuck here in between these
[G]shadows of my [A]yesterday
[E]I want to get away, I n[D]eed to get aw[A]ay

[Verse 2]
[E]Blanket of silence mak[D]es me
want to sink [A]my teeth in [G]deep
[E]Burn all the eviden[D]ce of
fabrica[A]ted disbe[G]lief
[E]Pull back the curtains, too[D]k a
look into [A]your [G]eyes
[E]My tongue has now becom[D]e a
platform for [A]your lies
I [G]said, you've

[Pre-chorus 2]
[E]got me where you want me
a[G]gain and I can't [A]turn away
I'm [E]hanging by a thread and I'm
[D]feeling like I'll [A]fall
I'm [E]stuck here in between these
[G]shadows of my [A]yesterday
[E]I want to get away, I n[D]eed to get aw[A]ay

[Chorus 1]
[E]Now you [D]know, yeah
[G]You've got my bac[A]k against the wal[E]l
Oh [D]God, [G]I ain't got no o[A]ther place to h[E]ide
Chained [D]down, like a [G]sitting duck
just [A]waiting for the [E]fall
You [D]know, yeah
[G]You've got my bac[A]k against the wal[E]l
[D][A][G]
[E][D][A][G]

[Verse 3]
[E]Deep in the jungle, cam[D]ouflaged
by all [A]the fallen [G]leaves
[E]A hand holds up the sky[D] while,
shamefully, [A]I make my p[G]lea
[E]The altar's calling but[D] my legs
won't seem [A]to [G]stand
[E]Guess I'm a coward sca[D]red to
face the man [A]I am
I [G]said, you've

[Pre-chorus 3]
[E]got me where you want me
a[G]gain and I can't [A]turn away
I'm [E]hanging by a thread and I'm
[D]feeling like I'll [A]fall
I'm [E]stuck here in between these
[G]shadows of my [A]yesterday
[E]I want to get away, I n[D]eed to get aw[A]ay

[Chorus 2]
[E]Now you [D]know, yeah
[G]You've got my bac[A]k against the wal[E]l
Oh [D]God, [G]I ain't got no o[A]ther place to h[E]ide
Chained [D]down, like a [G]sitting duck
just [A]waiting for the [E]fall
You [D]know, yeah
