Key:
G C You live out where the street ends
G D In a basement apartment With one of your friends
Em And the tap drips all night, water
D torture in the sink
C The furnace is burning but it's
D C still cold i think
G I can smell the bleach that they use
D in the hall
G C But it can't clean the dirt off of
D me
Em It's seeping under the door, in
C G across the floor
D It's starting to hurt
C G Every time I breathe
C G D C Every time I try to leave
C G D Every time I breathe
Continues after the ad
G Now the toaster sticks and the
C empties are piled
G D I haven't been up the stairs in awhile now
Bm I gotta wash the sheets on my bed,
D gotta watch the things that go unsaid
D And god I wish we'd leave it at
C G this
C G Every time I breathe
C G D C Every time I try to leave
C G D Every time I breathe
D G And every evening you open the
Em door, you come down
D C There's nothing like watching tv
G all night underground
D C And no one is watching me slide
D Em Below street level
C C G Barely alive
G Now we live out where the street
C ends
G D In a basement apt. Just like our friends
Bm C We always said that we were
G different
G But you know now that we weren't
Bm 'Cause there's holes in all the bottles
G And my lungs hurt
C G Every time I breathe
C G D C Every time I try to leave
C G D7 G Every time I breathe
