I can't talk, I got to go

Don't call me back, I won't get the door
       Dm   C/E        F
Got to fo - cus on the job
         Gm        Bb  C            Dm
'Cause I got a new job climbing the walls

      Bb          F            Bb         F
I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
    Bb    F         C
And using up my teeth
        Dm   C/E        F
Now I'm done chewing my nails
Gm         Bb    C          Dm
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
          Dm    C/E     F
It got so bad I quit my job
       Gm        Bb  C            Dm      C   F C

Can we please clearout this house?
        Dm    G           Dm    G
In the trunk,     in the trunk
               Bb                     A
And then we'll take it all to the dump
        Bb             F
Then we won't need the car
             Bb            F
'Cause we'll stay where we are
    Bb        F        C
And I'll have all this room

      Dm       C/E        F
I got tired of pacing the floor
 Gm            Bb      C             Dm
Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
       Dm   C/E        F Gm        Bb  C            Dm
Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls

        Bb          F             Bb        F
I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
       Bb F       C
And using up my teeth
         Dm   C/E         F
Now I'm done chewing my nails
   Gm        Bb      C      Dm
Hanging my head, chasing my tail

It got so bad I quit my job
       Gm        Bb  C            Dm      C   F C
Then I got a new job climbing the walls

         F   C         F   C
The deep end, the deep end
       F      Gm       Eb
People talk a lot, but they don't know
        Dm   G        Dm    G
They pretend, they pretend
           Bb                          A
They don't really know how deep it goes

      Bb      F
Now I misunderstood,
            Bb            F
Thought the wall was just good
     Bb     F       C
For staring blankly at

      Dm       C/E        F
I got tired of pacing the floor
Gm         Bb       C             Dm

         Dm   C/E         F
Now I'm done chewing my nails
   Gm        Bb      C      Dm
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
          Dm    C/E     F
It got so bad I quit my job
       Gm        Bb  C            Dm
Then I got a new job climbing the walls
Gm        Bb  C            Dm
Got a new job climbing the walls
Gm        Bb  C            Dm      C   F C Dm C Dm
Got a new job climbing the walls
