Basement Apartment chords by Sarah Harmer

This is such a lovely song, one of my favourites. It has such a gorgeous nostalgic feeling. Enjoy :)

G               C
You live out where the street ends
   G            C      D
In a basement apartment With one of your friends
    Em             D
And the tap drips all night, water torture in the sink
   C              D       C
The furnace is burning but it's still cold i think

 G                D
I can smell the bleach that they use in the hall
    G        C      D
But it can't clean the dirt off of me
       Em        C
It's seeping under the door, in 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

    G           C
Now the toaster sticks and the empties are piled
  G             D
I haven't been up the stairs in awhile now
         Em                D
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed, gotta watch the things that go unsaid
                 D   C G
And god I wish we'd leave it at this

        D   G            C
And every evening you open the door, you come down
      D         C         G
There's nothing like watching tv all night underground
   D            C
And no one is watching me slide
 D      Em
Below street level
    C   C
Barely alive

G                 C
Now we live out where the street ends
G            D
In a basement apt. Just like our friends
  B   C
We always said that we were different
    G
But you know now that we weren't
       G
'Cause there's holes in all the bottles
       B
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
