Intro: 
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
 
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

             G#
I said you've got me where you want me again!
    B(7)           C#
And--I can't turn away
    G#                      F#                C#
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like a fool
    G#                        B(7)          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
