This is such a lovely song, one of my favourites. It has such a gorgeous nostalgic feeling. Enjoy :)
(The starting note for vocals is B)
G C
You live out where the street ends
G 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 G
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
Bm 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
C G
Every time I breathe
C G D C
Every time I try to leave
C G D
Every time I breathe
D G Em
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 G
Barely alive
G C
Now we live out where the street ends
G D
In a basement apt. Just like our friends
Bm C G
We always said that we were different
G
But you know now that we weren't
Bm
'Cause there's holes in all the bottles
G
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
