Chords with lyrics

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

Chord diagramG+G                              Chord diagramC majorC
You live out where the street ends
     Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramD MajorD
In a basement apartment With one of your friends
        Chord diagramE minorEm                         Chord diagramD MajorD
And the tap drips all night, water torture in the sink
     Chord diagramC majorC                           Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramC majorC
The furnace is burning but it's still cold i think

 Chord diagramG+G                                Chord diagramD MajorD
I can smell the bleach that they use in the hall
       Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramD MajorD
But it can't clean the dirt off of me
             Chord diagramE minorEm               Chord diagramC majorC
It's seeping under the door, in across the floor
     Chord diagramD MajorD
It's starting to hurt

Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
Every time I breathe
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramC majorC
Every time I try to leave
Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramD MajorD
Every time I breathe

        Chord diagramG+G                      Chord diagramC majorC
Now the toaster sticks and the empties are piled
    Chord diagramG+G                          Chord diagramD MajorD
I haven't been up the stairs in awhile now
                 Chord diagramE minorEm                               Chord diagramD MajorD
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed, gotta watch the things that go unsaid
                                 Chord diagramD MajorD     Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramG+G
And god I wish we'd leave it at this

               Chord diagramD MajorD      Chord diagramG+G                        Chord diagramC majorC
And every evening you open the door, you come down
            Chord diagramD MajorD                 Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG+G
There's nothing like watching tv all night underground
     Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramC majorC
And no one is watching me slide
  Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramE minorEm
Below street level
        Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramC majorC
Barely alive

Chord diagramG+G                                 Chord diagramC majorC
Now we live out where the street ends
Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramD MajorD
In a basement apt. Just like our friends
    Chord diagramBB      Chord diagramC majorC
We always said that we were different
       Chord diagramG+G
But you know now that we weren't
              Chord diagramG+G
'Cause there's holes in all the bottles
             Chord diagramBB
And my lungs hurt

Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
Every time I breathe
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramC majorC
Every time I try to leave
Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramD7D7  Chord diagramG+G
Every time I breathe
