[CHORUS]

        Bm    A       D    
I can't talk, I gotta go
Em            G       A             Bm
Don't call me back, I won't get the door
         A        D 
Got to focus on a job
         Em        G    A            Bm
'Cause I got a new job, climbing the walls


[PRE-CHORUS]

      G           D  
I was grinding my teeth
      G          D
I was wasting my youth
    G     D     A 
And using up my teeth


[CHORUS]

        Bm   A          D      
Now I'm done chewing my nails
Em         G     A          Bm 
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
                 A       D          
It got so bad, I quit my job
      Em        G   A            Bm  
And I got a new job climbing the wall


Bm  A  D  A

Can we please clear out this house?
       Bm     E      Bm    E
In the trunk, in the trunk   
                G                  F#
And then, we'll take it all to the dump
       G              D
And we won't need the car, 
             G             D
'Cause we'll stay where we are
    G         D        A
And I'll have all this room


[CHORUS]

      Bm       A          D
I got tired of pacing the floor 
Em         G        A             Bm
Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
              A          D      
I walked away ever since I

Got a new job climbing the walls

Hanging my head, chasing my tail

It got so bad, I quit my job
      Em        G   A            Bm  
And I got a new job climbing the wall

The deep end, the deep end
       D      Em       C 
People talk a lot, but they don't know
        Bm    E       Bm    E
They pretend, they pretend
           G                       F#
They don't really know how deep it goes
        G       D
Now I'm misunderstood
            G             D
Thought the wall was just good
    G       D       A
For staring blankly at
