B Bm Em E
BGot my back to the EmwalBlG  
BmGot my back to the wall
[Verse 1]
BI got my back to the wall and now I'm slippin'
Been tryna deal with the Gthoughts and my Econdition
And Bstill I try to hang on to what I'm missing
But something's Gsettin' me off, somebody ElisteBn
I been runnin' from fate Bmwithout a lifeline
EmBut now I'm in the wrong place Eat the wrong Btime
Tryna find an escape, lookin' to get Gby
From never gettin' a break, Ecuttin' the brake line
[Chorus]
BI've been hangin' by a Dthread
GWith my Dfeet over F#the Bedge
Got my back against the Gwall, Dwall, F#wall

BIf I lose it all, nothing's gonna Bmbreak the fall
[Verse 2]
BI got my head in the game I'm on a mission
But ever Gday is the same, a demoElition
We are the Bmarginalized but not the victims
Fighting the Gfight of our lives to make you Elisten
EmYou got me losin' my breath it'Es been a long Brun
GI'm tryin' hard to forget, but EI know the outcome
I Bgot a thousand regrets, and now I'm on one
