[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][D][C]
[G][C][G][C][G]
[C][D]
[C]You live

[Verse 1]
[G]out where [C]the street end[G]s
In a [C]basement apartment
[G]with one[D] of your fri[C]ends
The tap drips [G]all night,
water tor[C]ture an[G]d sin
The [C]furnace is burn[G]in' but it's still
[D]cold[C][G][C][G][C][G]
[D][C]
I can smell the [G]bleach
they [C]use in the hall
[G]But it can[C]'t clean the[G] dirt off of me[D]
[C]It's seeping under the door
[G]And acr[C]oss the[G] floor
It's [C]starting [G]to hurt
[D]Every [C]time I [G]pray
[D]Every [C]time I try to mak[G]e
[D]Eve[C]ry time I pra[G]y[D][C]
The toaster stick[G]s, it [C]empties a pile
[G]I hav[C]en't been up the
stair[G]s in a w[D]hile[C]
I gotta wash the sheets [G]on my bed
I [C]gotta watch those thing
[G]s that go unsaid [C]God
I wish we'd [G]leave it at [D]that[C][G]
[D]Every [C]time I [G]pray,
[D]every [C]time I try to pra[G]y,
[D]every [C]time I pra[G]y[D][C]
An[D]d every evening,
you open the door,
you come [Dsus4]down[C][G][C]
There's [D]nothing like watching TV
all night on the [C]ground
And [D]no [Dsus4]one is watch[D]ing this live[C]
[D]At low street level,
barely [C]alive[G][C][G][C][G][D][C][G]
[C][G][C][G][D]
[C]I'll be aro[G]und whe[C]re the[G] street ends
In a [C]basement apartment,
[G]just lik[D]e our[C] friends
We always said that we [G]were different
But you know now that we weren't
Cause there's [C]holes in [G]all the bottles
and my [D]lungs [C]hurt[G]
[D]Every [C]time I bre[G]athe
[D]Every [C]time I try to believe
[G]Eve[D]ry [C]time I pray[G][D]
