Climbing The Walls by They Might Be Giants

Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: Climbing The Walls
Album: The Else

(Some of this is played on piano/Keyboard. I believe all of the chords contined 
with brackets are on piano)


        Dm     C/E     F
I can't talk, I got to go
 Gm            Bb      C             Dm
Don't call me back, I won't get the door
       Dm   C/E         F
Got to fo - cus on the job
          Gm        Bb      C        Dm
'Cause I got a new job climbing the walls


        Bb          F             Bb        F
I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
       Bb F       C
And using up my teeth
         Dm   C/E         F
Now I'm done chewing my nails
   Gm        Bb      C      Dm
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
           Dm    C/E     F
It got so bad I quit my job
        Gm    Bb         C          Dm     ( C   F C)
Then I got a new job climbing the walls


(F C F C
Too much junk, too much junk
          F       Gm          Eb
Can we please clearout this house?
        Dm    G           Dm    G
In the trunk,     in the trunk
               Bb                   A)
And then we'll take it all to the dump
        Bb             F  
Then we won't need the car
             Bb            F
'Cause we'll stay where we are
    Bb        F        C
And I'll have all this room

I got tired of pacing the floor
Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls

I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
And using up my teeth
Now I'm done chewing my nails
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
It got so bad I quit my job
Then I got a new job climbing the walls


 (1:45) Interlude: Dm / C F / Em Am / G C

The deep end, the deep end
People talk a lot, but they don't know
They pretend, they pretend
They don't really know how deep it goes

Now I misunderstood,
Thought the wall was just good
For staring blankly at

I got tired of pacing the floor
Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls


Now I'm done chewing my nails
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
It got so bad I quit my job
Then I got a new job climbing the walls
Got a new job climbing the walls
Got a new job climbing the walls
