D                                       Bm 
I guess I should have caught your call 
D                                     G 
But I just had to waste the phone forget it all 

D                                  Bm 
Bones are trembling, hands are cold 

D                                         G 
You don't know how it feels you've got me up against the wall 

D Bm 
D G 


D                             Bm 
Maybe we could make this work 

D                                   G 
But I just had to leave before it's getting worse 

D                                   Bm 
I don't know what you came here for 

D                                 G 
It's almost that I wish we hadn't met at all 

D Bm 
D G 

D                                  Bm 
Your slap was like a wake-up call 

D                                   G        
The bruises on my face don't bother me at all 

D                                    Bm 
Bones are trembling, hands are cold 

D                                  G 
It's almost that I wish you had me up against the wall
