Artist: Cage The Elephant Song: Back Against The Wall [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]

chained down, like a sitting duck

Just waiting for the fall
