I tried to attempt the rhythym here, but play along with the song to really get it
right; the timing is a bit tricky on this song.

Lyrics
Guess I should have caught your call
but I just had to waste the phone, forget it all
bones are trembling, hands are cold
you dont know how that feels, you got me up against the wall
Maybe we could make this work
but I just had to leave before it's getting worse
I don't know what you came here for
it's almost that I wish we hadn't met at all
Your slap was like a wake up call
the bruises on my face don't bother me at all
bones are trembling, hands are cold
it's almost that I wish you had me up against the wall
