{Intro:} (guitar kicks in just before the laughing part)
Cadd9, G, Cadd9, G,
Cadd9, G, D, C (repeat 2x times)
{Verse:}
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You live out where the street ends
Cadd9 G D C
in a basement apt. with one of your friends
Cadd9 G
and the tap drips all night
Cadd9 G
water torture in the sink
Cadd9 G
The furnace is burning
D C Cadd9 G
but it's still cold i think ___
Cadd9, G, Cadd9, G, D, C
Cadd9 G
I can smell the bleach
Cadd9 G
that they use in the hall
Cadd9 G D C
but it can't clean the dirt off of me
Cadd9 G
It's seeping under the door
Cadd9 G
in across the floor
Cadd9 G
it's starting to hurt
{Chorus:}
(D) (C) Cadd9 G Cadd9
Everytime I breatthe__|
G Cadd9 G D C
Everytime I try to leave__|
Cadd9 G D C
Everytime I breathe_____|
{Verse:}
Cadd9 G
Now the toaster sticks
Cadd9 G
and the empties are piled
Cadd9 G D C
I haven't been up the stairs in awhile now
Cadd9 G
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed
Cadd9 G
gotta watch the things that go unsaid
Cadd9 G D C
God I wish we'd leave it at this____|
{Repeat Chorus} (except the beginning D & C
chords wich are already
played at the end of verse)
{Verse}
D
And every evening you open the door
C
You come down
D C
There's nothing like watching tv all night on the ground
D C
and no one is watching me slide
D
below street level
C (pump up this chord, get ready for the Chorus)
barely alive
{Instrumental} (chords from the Chorus)
{Last verse}
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Now we live out where the street ends
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
in a basement apt. just like our friends
Cadd9 G
We always said that we were different
Cadd9 G
but you know now that we weren't
Cadd9 G
'cause there's holes in all the bottles
D C
and my lungs hurt___|
{Repeat Chorus}
