Dm C/E F
I can't talk, I got to go
Gm Bb C Dm
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)
Then I got a new job climbing the walls
(F C F C
Too much junk, too much junk
F Gm Eb
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
I got tired of pacing the floor
Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls
I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
And using up my teeth
Now I'm done chewing my nails
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
It got so bad I quit my job
Then I got a new job climbing the walls
(1:45) Interlude: Dm / C F / Em Am / G C
The deep end, the deep end
People talk a lot, but they don't know
They pretend, they pretend
They don't really know how deep it goes
Now I misunderstood,
Thought the wall was just good
For staring blankly at
I got tired of pacing the floor
Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls
Now I'm done chewing my nails
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
It got so bad I quit my job
Then I got a new job climbing the walls
Got a new job climbing the walls
Got a new job climbing the walls
