         D/F#    D/E          D
Well, we danced without our shoes
             Bm     A/C#      D
But there's glass around our feet
         D/F#   D/E       D
And we'd walk around the town
             Bm       A/C# D
But we're allergic to concrete
         D/F#   D/E     D
We'd be stuffed to the gills
             Bm    A/C#     D
But there's nothing here to eat
        Bm      A/C#    D
There's nothing here to eat
        Bm      A/C#    D
There's nothing here to eat

Oh, well we'd love to rest our eyes
But we hear the floor boards creek
So, we lie with one eye open and
Clutch knives between the sheets
If there's no rest for the wicked
Well, then we'll never get no sleep
We'll never get no sleep
No, we'll never get no sleep

Chorus:
            G
'Cos we're banging our heads against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our heads are soft
       Bm
It's a painful way to get attention
 F#m
A painful way to get attention
      Em7
We're banging our heads against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our heads are soft
        Bm
It's a painful way to get attention
  F#m
A painful way to get attention

We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention

We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention
We're banging our head's against brick walls
And the walls are hard and our head's are soft
It's a painful way to get attention
It's a painful way to get attention, no
