Well
you live out where the street ends

a basement apartment, with one of your friends

The

The
furnace is burning, but it's still cold, I think

I
can smell the bleach that they use in the hall

But
it can't clean the dirt off of me

It's

D(+) C
Every
time I breathe
The
toaster sticks, the empties are piled
I
haven't been up the stairs in a while now
I
gotta wash the sheets on my bed
I
gotta watch those things that go unsaid
God,
I wish we could leave it at this...
Every
time I breathe
Every
time I try to leave
Every
time I breathe

no one is watching me slide

Below
street level, barely alive
We
live out where the street ends
In
a basement apartment, just like our friends
We
always said that we'd be different
But
you know now that we weren't
Cause
there's hole in all the bottles and my lungs hurt...
Every
time I breathe
Every
time I try to leave
Every
time I breathe
All
the chords are of the same length, with a dash meaning simply to
continue playing that same chord. This is how I play the chords:
C G
D
D+
e|---3---|---3---|---2---|---3---|
b|---3---|---3---|---3---|---3---|
g|---0---|---0---|---2---|---2---|
d|---2---|---0---|---0---|---0---|
a|---3---|---2---|
e|---3---|
and
D(+) means to just throw in the + part (ie. first string, third fret)
for a second in the D chord.
