Verse 1:
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Well you live out, where the street ends
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
In a basement apartment with one of your friends
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And the tap drips all night, water torturing the sink
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9

I can smell the bleach that they use in the hall
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
But it can't clean the dirt off of me
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
It's seeping under the door, in across the floor
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
It's starting to hurt
Chorus 1:

Every time I br-----eathe

Verse 3:
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Now the toaster sticks and the empties are piled
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
I haven't been up the stairs in awhile now
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed, gotta watch the things that go unsaid
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
God I wish we'd leave it at th------------is

Bridge:
D MajorD C/GC/G
And every evening, you open the door, you come down
D MajorD C/GC/G
There's nothing like watching TV all night on the ground

And no one is watching me slide
D MajorD C/GC/G
Below street level, barely alive

Now we live out, where the street ends
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
In a basement apartment just like our friends
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
We always said that we were different, but you know now that we weren't
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
'Cause there's holes in all the bottles and my lungs hurt
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G

Lost in a treetop

C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#
Are there no blinders on lights that blare?
C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#
White noise on the eyes
C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#
From gas station lots and reflected ice -- glare
C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#
So that I can walk home by moonlight -- alone
C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#

Verse 3:
C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#
These words on paper smell like you
C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#
Associated in random thought
C majorC D/F#D/F# C majorC D/F#D/F#
On my lips the words turn blue
