[Intro: ]C#m   B   A   C#m   B   A   C#m   B   A   C#m        B      
 
C#m       B          A 
Check me out in my easy chair 
C#m     B     A 
Bottle in my hand 
C#m     B    A                   C#m                 B    A 
How it ever got to go this far I guess I'll never understand 
         C#m       B      A 
Cause I bend and bend until I break 
C#m B              A 
Then I bend some more 
C#m  B       A                            C#m          B 
Sometimes I feel like a piece of dirt down on your floor 
 
(chorus) 
   E       B     A 
I bang my head against the wall 
E          B        A 
Bang it until it bleeds 
E          B         A 
To me it makes no difference at all 
           E            B       A 
I got to bang it till I can't see 
C#m         B                  A 
Don't know what you think of me 
C#m      B      A 
I don't really care 
          E        B    A                            C#m      B 
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there 
 
(same chords as verse ) 
I sit and stare at the telephone 
Why don't it ring 
Once upon a time I thought I knew it all 
Turns out I don't know one damn thing 
Pick it up and I throw it down 
I pick it up again 
I'm gonna keep slammin' it to the floor till someone's on the other end. 
 
(chorus) 
 
Solo: 
 
(same chords as verse) 
I don't know why I'm sittin' here 
Seems like I used to know 
Knew everything I wanted everywhere I needed to go. 
Friends stop and they smile at me 
They say you got it all 
But what they don't know what they don't see  
Are the holes up and down my hall 
 
(chorus) 
 
Solo: 
 
(same chords as verse) 
Sun comin' up at the break of dawn 
I can't shut my eyes 
It's like a pile of wire coat hangers inside my mind 
Now I'm down here on the floor 
My world spinning around 
I get the feeling I ain't ever gonna leave this God forsaken town. 
 
(chorus)
