Verse 2

And 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

C 
G 
Well now we live out
where the street ends
C 
G 
In the basement apartment
C 
just like our friends
We always said that we
G 
were different
C 
But you know now that we
G 
weren't
C

'Cause there's holes in all the bottles
D 
C 
G 
And my lungs hurt
