CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
I've been fiGshing, and can't catch a bEmite
I've been prCaying, ain't seen that lGight
I've been Gsearching, high to the Emlow
I've been wCorking, woCrking, woCrking myself to the Gbone
[Pre-chorus]
Now my skiEmn starts crawl
I'm gonna tCear down these walls, if I dGon't get out
I've lost heEmaven to hell and I knCow very well I'm gonna gDet it back
[Chorus]
There's just this wGaiting game
And DI don't know hEmow to play
It's enough of a fCight staying aDlive, anywGay
Yes there's this waGiting game
And DI don't know hEmow to play
It's enough of a fiCght staying alDive, anywayG  
[Verse 2]
There's a voice in my pilGlow
It's got it out for mEme
Because it keeps muCmbling, muCmbling aCll through the night, I can't sGleep
I've been patiGent
Oh a change gonna Emcome
That damn clock just don't stop tCicking, tCicking, tCicking away that's the sGtorm
[Pre-chorus]
Now mEmy skin starts crawl
I'm gonna tCear down these walls, if i dGon't get out
I've lost heEmaven to hell and I knCow very well I'm gonna gDet it back
[Chorus]
There's just this wGaiting game
And DI don't know hEmow to play
It's enough of a fCight staying aDlive, anywaGy
Yes there's this waGiting game
And DI don't know hEmow to play
It's enough of a fiCght staying alDive, anywaGy
