The Basement

E  A  E  A Am

[Verse 1]
E                            E7
 The night's not over for a while
                A                    C
 So what's the point of you leaving?
E                            E7
 A couple more just couldn't hurt
                      A         C
 It's the same thing every week

          E                  A Am
 It's just embarassing


[Chorus]
Am
 And it's hard to ignore the signs
                                 C
 When your attention's placed on someone else
       Am
 We'll talk for a while, I'm certain

 Drowning, but it's not even worth it
      C
 It's getting late
   Am         C D
 I can't stay
                      E
 I'll see you next weekend

 A E A C

[Verse 2]
E                              E7
 Too tired to act like someone else tonight
             A                   C
 It's nearly three in the morning
E                             E7
 And don't you ever stop and think
                    A          C
 That it's all just meaningless

         E                       E7 A Am
 I can't breathe in the basement


[Chorus]
Am
 And it's hard to ignore the signs
                                 C
 When your attention's placed on someone else
       Am
 We'll talk for a while, I'm certain

 Drowning, but it's not even worth it
      C
 It's getting late
   Am         C D
 I can't stay


[Bridge]
    E                A    C    D
 I really want to go home
   E                A     F  C   D
 I really want to go home

F                                C                         D
 (She's walking through the door, and now she's on the floor)
F                       C                    D
 (The only thing we know is you can never go home)
