I heard you talking 'till the morning
                         B
Heavy whispers from the next room
              D#m
You say it's never your intention
    C#                  B
And I'm just in a bad mood
                         F#
There was a possible connection on
                 B
the table for a second
                       D#m
Then she made such an entrance
                      C#
Can't stand all this tension
     B
Can you?

      F#                    B
Then we cross paths by the bathroom
     D#m      C#                    B
But I'd just rather be out of the picture
          F#              B
And I'll do my upmost to talk to you
    D#m     C#
But I just wanna be out—
        B
I just wanna be out of the picture

Chorus:
              F#
And, no, I'm not just gonna lay
here and bite my tongue
  B
I only wanna be here when she's gone
 D#m      C#                     B
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) The walls are way too thin
           F#
Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
     B
I'm bored, I'm ignored, I'm being out of my mind
 D#m     C#                      B
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) The walls are way too thin
                  F#
The walls are way too thin

You're blowing smoke rings in the corridors,
I feel so cold
How come it rains inside?
The house is full, but I'm alone
With all the shit that still needs fixing,
out of my control
It takes a hold of me
It takes a hold of me

The same old sad songs I cling to
'Cause I just wanna be out—
I just wanna be out of the picture

Chorus

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
             F#
And, no, I'm not just gonna lay
here and bite my tongue
  B
I only wanna be here when she's gone
 D#m     C#                      B
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) The walls are way too thin

Chorus:
Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
I'm bored, I'm ignored, I'm being out of my mind
Ooh-ooh-ooh, the walls are way too thin
The walls are way too thin

(Oh, I get down)
The walls are way too thin
