G C You live out where the street endsG D In a basement apartment With one of your friendsEm And the tap drips all night, waterD torture in the sinkC The furnace is burning but it'sD C still cold i thinkG I can smell the bleach that they useD in the hallG C But it can't clean the dirt off ofD meEm It's seeping under the door, inC G across the floorD It's starting to hurtC G Every time I breatheC G D C Every time I try to leaveC G D Every time I breatheContinues after the adG Now the toaster sticks and theC empties are piledG D I haven't been up the stairs in awhile nowBm I gotta wash the sheets on my bed,D gotta watch the things that go unsaidD And god I wish we'd leave it atC G thisC G Every time I breatheC G D C Every time I try to leaveC G D Every time I breatheD G And every evening you open theEm door, you come downD C There's nothing like watching tvG all night undergroundD C And no one is watching me slideD Em Below street levelC C G Barely aliveG Now we live out where the streetC endsG D In a basement apt. Just like our friendsBm C We always said that we wereG differentG But you know now that we weren'tBm 'Cause there's holes in all the bottlesG And my lungs hurtC G Every time I breatheC G D C Every time I try to leaveC G D7 G Every time I breathe
