Got my back to the wall
Bm
Got my back to the wall

[Verse 1]
B
I got my back to the wall and now I'm slippin'
                        G               E
Been tryna deal with the thoughts and my condition
    B
And still I try to hang on to what I'm missing
                G                        E    B
But something's settin' me off, somebody listen
                         Bm
I been runnin' from fate without a lifeline
Em                             E            B
But now I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time
                                     G
Tryna find an escape, lookin' to get by
                            E
From never gettin' a break, cuttin' the brake line

[Chorus]
B                      D
I've been hangin' by a thread
G       D         F#  B
With my feet over the edge
                        G     D     F#
Got my back against the wall, wall, wall
B                        D
Will this nightmare ever end?
                      Bm
Will I break before I bend?
              D            G  D             F#        B    E
If I slip and lose it all, no-thing's gonna break the fall
B                                 Bm
If I lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall

[Verse 2]
B
I got my head in the game I'm on a mission
         G                      E
But ever day is the same, a demolition
           B
We are the marginalized but not the victims
             G                              E
Fighting the fight of our lives to make you listen
Em                             E            B
You got me losin' my breath it's been a long run
G                              E
I'm tryin' hard to forget, but I know the outcome
  B
I got a thousand regrets, and now I'm on one
Bm         G                         B
I might be losing my head before the song's done
 
[Chorus]
B                      G
I've been hangin' by a thread
        D    F#       B
With my feet over the edge
                        G   D
Got my back against the wall
B                        D
Will this nightmare ever end?
             F#       B
Will I break before I bend?
     Bm               G
If I slip and lose it all, 
          D     F#        B
nothing's gonna break the fall

[Bridge]
B

[Chorus]
Am        F            F#
I've been hangin' by a thread
D            F#       B
With my feet over the edge
                            G D
Got my back against the wall
B                        D
Will this nightmare ever end?
                      B
Will I break before I bend?
     Bm               G              D     F#        B
If I slip and lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall
B
Break the fall
B
If I lose it all, nothing's gonna break the fall
