Climbing The Walls chords by They Might Be Giants

Chords with lyrics

CAPO 3

- You can play a D MajorD chord on Capo 3 to get an
idea for the pitch to make it a bit easier than
starting off on a lone voice note.

-This song is pretty easy if you know all basic Major and Minor chords.
If A/C#A/C# is too hard, just play an A augmentedA without the lower two strings. xx3330

Don't call me back, I won't get the door
    B minorBm  A/C#A/C#    D MajorD
Got to fo - cus on the job
    E minorEm     G+G A augmentedA      B minorBm
'Cause I got a new job climbing the walls

   G+G     D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD
I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
  G+G  D MajorD   A augmentedA
And using up my teeth
    B minorBm  A/C#A/C#     D MajorD
Now I'm done chewing my nails
E minorEm     G+G  A augmentedA     B minorBm
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
     B minorBm  A/C#A/C#   D MajorD
It got so bad I quit my job
    E minorEm    G+G A augmentedA      B minorBm   A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA
Then I got a new job climbing the walls


     D MajorD   A augmentedA      D MajorD   A augmentedA

    D MajorD      E minorEm    C majorC
Can we please clear out this house?
    B minorBm   E MajorE     B minorBm   E MajorE
In the trunk,   in the trunk
        G+G           F#F#
And then we'll take it all to the dump
    G+G       D MajorD
Then we won't need the car
       G+G      D MajorD
'Cause we'll stay where we are
  G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
And I'll have all this room

    B minorBm  A/C#A/C#   D MajorD
I got tired of pacing the floor
E minorEm      G+G   A augmentedA       B minorBm
Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
    B minorBm  A/C#A/C#    D MajorD E minorEm     G+G A augmentedA      B minorBm
Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls

   G+G     D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD
I was grinding my teeth, I was wasting my youth
  G+G  D MajorD   A augmentedA
And using up my teeth
    B minorBm  A/C#A/C#     D MajorD
Now I'm done chewing my nails
E minorEm     G+G  A augmentedA     B minorBm
Hanging my head, chasing my tail
     B minorBm  A/C#A/C#   D MajorD
It got so bad I quit my job
    E minorEm    G+G A augmentedA      B minorBm   A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA
Then I got a new job climbing the walls

The deep end, the deep end
A augmentedA       G+G
People talk a lot, but they don't know
    D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD
They pretend, they pretend
G+G             D MajorD    F#F#
They don't really know how deep it goes

F#F#  G+G   D MajorD
Now I misunderstood,
      G+G      D MajorD
Thought the wall was just good
  G+G   E minorEm   F#F#
For staring blankly at

    B minorBm  A/C#A/C#   D MajorD
I got tired of pacing the floor
