        Bm    A       D    Em            G       A             Bm
I can't talk- I gotta go.. Don't call me back, I won't get the door..
      (Bm)  A        D             Em        G     A            Bm
Got to fo - cus on a job, 'cause I got a new job.. climbing the walls..



      G           D            G          D 
I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
    G     D     A 
And using up my teeth..
        Bm   A          D       Em         G      A          Bm 
Now I'm done chewing my nails.. hanging my head.. chasing my tail..
         (Bm)    A       D          Em        G     A            Bm           
It got so bad, I quit my job, and I got a new job.. climbing the wall..

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

      Bm       A          D       Em         G         A             Bm

         (Bm) A          D Em        G     A            Bm     
I walked away ever since I got a new job.. Climbing the walls..

And using up my teeth..

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