Artist: Cage The Elephant
Song: Back Against The Wall
Capo on 1
Intro: x4
Verse:
Tonight I’ll have a look
And try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Out back a monster wears a
cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen
I've fallen to my knees
Pre-chorus:
I said you've got me where you want me
Again I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and Im feeling like a fool
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away
I need to get away
Verse2:
Blanket of silence
makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains take a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies I said
Pre-chorus:
You've got me where you want me
Again I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and Im feeling like a fool
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away
I need to get away
Chorus:
Now you know
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
Oh gosh, I aint got no other place to hide
chained down, like a sitting duck
Just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
Intro: x2
Verse:
Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky
While shamefully I make my plea
The alters callin’
But my legs won’t seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward
Scared to face the man I am I said
Pre-chorus:
You've got me where you want me
Again I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and Im feeling like a fool
I'm stuck here right between the shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away
I need to get away
Chorus:
Now you know
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
Oh gosh, I aint got no other place to hide
chained down, like a sitting duck
Just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
Solo:

x4
Chorus:
Now you know
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
Oh gosh, I aint got no other place to hide
chained down, like a sitting duck
Just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
