Sarah Harmer - Basement Apartment Chords

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
