[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
G                     D
  I'm a crack in the pavement
              Bm7
I'm a slip knot
                    A      
I'm afraid that my fortress 
              G
is a glass box
                          D   
I should know what I'm playing,
            Bm7
 but I forgot
                 A  
Felt good for a day, 
             G
but that stopped

                    D   
And I once saw it clearly 
                 Bm7
but it's bloodshot
                   A   
And I want you so badly 
              G
but I close off
                         D     
Like I thought we'd get married, 
               Bm7
but I guess not
             A                 G
Now you can watch me hit the wall

[Chorus]
G              D
 Hit the wall, I just hit the wall
Bm            A                G
  I'm not a problem you can solve
              D
 Weighing the cost, impossible
Bm              A              G
  I hit the wall, I hit the wall

[Verse 2]
              D                    Bm
 I try to be violent, but I get caught
                A                    G
A room full of doctors and an ink blot
                  D       
 I'm drawn into headlights,
                 Bm
 have a blind spot
               A             G
Pull over and wait for too long
              D                Bm
 I wanna be stable, but I do cave
               A              G
I use when I'm able, a downgrade
             D                    Bm
 I barely deserve it if you do stay
                 A        G
But I wish you would anyway

[Chorus]
                      D
  But I hit the wall, I just
 hit the wall
Bm            A                G
  I'm not a problem you can solve
                D            Bm
  Weighing the cost, impossible
                A              G
  I hit the wall, I hit the wall

[Bridge]
                   D    
 "A Case Of You" playing 
              Bm
in the hallway
        A
Hallucinations that I downplay
G                   D     
  I'm numb 'til I'm aching
                 Bm
 for the sharp pain
           A         E G
Watch my blade ricocheeet
 D                A       
Funny, ain't it flashbacks
        E G
 of my liiife?
  D                A 
What a waste and what 
                E G
a shame of a niiiight
 D                A    
Face to face with every 
           E   G        D
girl that I tried to play
A
Mmmmm

[Pre-Chorus]
G           D                  Bm
 Sooner or later, you'll find out
             A                 G
I live in a pattern of breakdowns
                    D      
 You'll bend to my silence, 
            Bm
it's so loud
                 A
And then you'll lose 
me to the crowd

[Chorus]
G               D
  Hit the wall, I just hit the wall
Bm            A
  I'm not a problem you can solve
G               D           Bm
  Hit the wall, I just...ahh

[Outro]
       A  
I just,   Ahh
