Em     Em     Em     Em


[Verse 1]
Em         Bm7
I remember blue lagoons
Em         Bm7
I remember padded rooms
Em                Bm7
And fat lines and pill-heads tryin' to
Em            Bm7
Load me up on sonic booms


[Interlude]
Em7b5      Em       Em7b5      Em


[Chorus 1]
           A
And as the fuse of the night burned, I remember
Em
Sucking down on a shot gun
A
Swinging a glass at a bartender
Bm7
I hit the wall and the wall won
Bm7
I hit the wall and the wall won


[Verse 2]
    Em                   Bm7
The next I know I'm in a   cell block
    Em                          Bm7
In just a cowboy's helmet and a football sock
Em                 Bm7
Two angels hanging up above
Em              Bm7
In uniforms and rubber gloves


[Verse 3]
        Em                      Bm7
I said, darn it, ain't nobody's ever seen
Em                  Bm7
The other side of where I've been
          Em                     Bm7
There's a wall out there and it's no fun
Em   N.C.
I hit the wall and the wall won


[Interlude]
Em     Bm7    Em     Bm7
Em     Bm7    Em     Bm7
Em     Bm7    Em     Bm7
Em     Bm7    Em     Bm7
Em            Em
Em            Em


[Verse 4]
Em
The sky'll tell ya if it's day or night
Em
The bible tells ya if it's wrong or right
Em
The wall is there to tell ya, "Slow down son"
Em  N.C.
I hit the wall and the wall won
 N.C.
(He hit the wall and the wall won)


[Verse 5]
Em         Bm7
I remember   a quick chase
Em         Bm7
I remember   a blast of mace
Em                   Bm7
A ward somewhere, an intern too far
Bm7
Bored to care stichin' up my face


[Chorus 2]
        Em                      Bm7
I said, darn it, ain't nobody's     ever seen
Em                 Bm7
The other side of where I've been
          Em                     Bm7
There's a war out there and it's    no fun
Em                    Bm7
I hit the wall and the   wall won
Em                    Bm7
I hit the wall and the   wall won


[Outro]
Em                    Bm7
I hit the wall and the   wall won
          Em                        Bm7
There's a world out there singin', "Slow down son"
Em  N.C.                         Em
I hit the wall and the wall won
