Cage the Elephant - Back Against the Wall

      
 
 i have been in the process of trying to make an "ultimate tab." basically i saw a green
 day tab that was set up like this and thought it was a great idea and wanted to expand
 on this. definition: tab with every instrument needed to play song included. this
 tab is perfect for covers.

 | verse 1: |

 ------------
 

 Tonight I'll have a look and try to find my face again
 Buried beneath this house my spirit screams and dies again
 Outback a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
 Behind the TV screen I've fallen to my knees

 --------------
 

 | prechorus: |

 --------------
 

 I said you got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
 I'm hangin' by a thread and I'm feelin' like a fool
 I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
 I wanna get away, I need to get away

 -----------
 

 | verse 2 |

 -----------
 

 Blanket of silence makes me wanna sink my teeth in deep
 Burn all the evidence, a fabricated disbelief
 Pull back the curtains took a look into your eyes
 My tongue has now become a platform for your lies

 -------------
 

 | prechorus |

 -------------
 

 I said you got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
 I'm hangin' by a thread and I'm feelin' like a fool
 I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
 I wanna get away, I need to get away

 ----------
 

 | chorus |

 ----------
 

 Now you know, yeah you got my back against the wall
 Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
 Chained down like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
 You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

 -----------
 

 | verse 3 |

 -----------
 

 Deep in the jungle camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
 A hand holds up the sky while shamefully I make my plea
 The alter's callin' but my legs won't seem to stand
 Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am

 -------------
 

 | prechorus |

 -------------
 

 I said you got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
 I'm hangin' by a thread and I'm feelin' like a fool
 I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
 I wanna get away, I need to get away

 ----------
 

 | chorus |

 ----------
 

 Now you know, yeah you got my back against the wall
 Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
 Chained down like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
 You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
 
 Now you know, yeah you got my back against the wall
 Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
 Chained down like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
 You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
