Okay, so the most 'tricky' part
(as far as you wanna call it tricky)
is the rhytm of the Cadd9 and the G chords..
The rhytm of these two particular chords
is used troughout the whole song except
for the chorus..

[Cadd9]   You live o[G]ut [Cadd9]where the street [G]ends

in a [Cadd9]basement [G]apt. with [D]one of your [C]friends

and the [Cadd9]tap drips all [G]night

water [Cadd9]torture in the [G]sink

The [Cadd9]furnace is [G]burning

but it's s[D]till [C]cold i th[Cadd9]ink __[G]_

[Cadd9]  [G]  [Cadd9]  [G]  [D]  [C]

[Cadd9]I can smell the [G]bleach

that they [Cadd9]use in the [G]hall

but it [Cadd9]can't clean the [G]dirt off of [D]me  [C]

It's seeping [Cadd9]under the [G]door

[Cadd9]in across the [G]floor

it's [Cadd9]starting to [G]hurt

E[D]veryti[C]me I [Cadd9]breatthe__[G]|   [Cadd9]

Every[G]time I try to [Cadd9]leave__[G]|  [D]     [C]

Everytime I [Cadd9]breathe_____[G]|   [D]     [C]

Now the [Cadd9]toaster [G]sticks

and the [Cadd9]empties are [G]piled

I [Cadd9]haven't been up the [G]stairs in awhile[D] now [C]

I [Cadd9]gotta wash the [G]sheets on my bed

[Cadd9]gotta watch the [G]things that go unsaid

[Cadd9]God I wish we'd [G]leave it at t[D]his__[C]__|

[Repeat Chorus] (except the beginning D & C
               chords wich are already
               played at the end of verse)

[D]  And every evening you open the door

You come d[C]own

There's [D]nothing like watching tv all night on the gr[C]ound

and [D]no one is watching me sl[C]ide

[D]below street level

barely al[C]ive

(chords from the chorus)

[Last verse]

Now [Cadd9]we live [G]out [Cadd9]where the street [G]ends

in a [Cadd9]basement [G]apt. just [Cadd9]like our [G]friends

We always [Cadd9]said that we were [G]different

but you [Cadd0]know now that we [G]weren't

'cause [Cadd9]there's holes in all the [G]bottles

and [D]my lungs [C]hurt___|

[Repeat Chorus]
