(as far as you wanna call it tricky)

[Intro:] (guitar kicks in just before the laughing part)
, , , ,
, , , (repeat 2x times)
[Verse:]
You live out where the street ends
in a bat apt. with one of your friends
and the tap drips all night
water torture in the sink
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 seeping under the door
in across the floor
it s starting to hurt
[Chorus:]
() ()
Everytime I breatthe__|
Everytime I try to leave__|
Everytime I breathe_____|
[Verse:]
Now the toaster sticks
and the empties are piled
I haven t been up the stairs in awhile now
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed
gotta watch the things that go unsaid
God I wish we d leave it at this____|
[Repeat Chorus] (except the beginning D & C
chords wich are already
played at the end of verse)
[Verse]
And every evening you open the door
You come down
There s nothing like watching tv all night on the ground
and no one is watching me slide
below street level
C (pump up this chord, get ready for the chorus)
barely alive
[Instrumental] (chords from the chorus)
[Last verse]
Now we live out where the street ends
in a bat apt. just like our friends
We always said that we were different
Cadd0
but you know now that we weren t
cause there s holes in all the bottles
and my lungs hurt___|
[Repeat Chorus]
