Basement Apartment

(início)

{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}
