Cage The Elephant - Back Against The Wall: chords

G#                   F#
Tonight I'll have a look
                    C#     B
And try to find my face again
G#                   F#
Buried beneath this house
                       C#    B
My spirit screams and dies again
G#                  F#
Out back a monster wears a
F#                 C#  B
cloak of Persian leather
G#              F#
Behind the TV screen
      F#           C#
I've fallen to my knees

              G#
I said you've got me where you want me
  B                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#                        B
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of
     C#
my yesterday
  G#
I want to get away
  F#           C#
I need to get away

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

I said, you've got me where you want me again
and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of
my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away

Chorus:
G#       F#
Now you know
 B                C#               G#
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
    F#  B              C#             G#
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
         F#           B
chained down, like a sitting duck
      C#              G#
Just waiting for the fall
     F#    B               C#               G#
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

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

I said, you've got me where you want me again and
I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of
my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away

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