Basement Apartment - Weeping Tile

Intro (and basic pattern): C G C G C G D(+) C/ x2
C G C G
Well you live out where the street ends
C G D(+) C
In a basement apartment, with one of your friends
C G C G
The tap drips all night, water torture in the sink
C G D D+ C G C G C G D(+) C
The furnace is burning, but it's still cold, I think
C G C G
I can smell the bleach that they use in the hall
C G D(+) C
But it can't clean the dirt off of me
C G C G
It's seeping under the door, in across the floor
C G D D+ C G D
It's starting to hurt, every time I breathe
D+ C G D
Every time I try to leave
D+ C G D D+ C G D(+) C
Every time I breathe
The toaster sticks, the empties are piled
I haven't been up the stairs in a while now
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed
I gotta watch those things that go unsaid
God, I wish we could leave it at this...
Every time I breathe
Every time I try to leave
Every time I breathe
C - - - G - - -
And every evening, you open the door, you come down
C - - - G - - -
There's nothing like watching TV all night underground
C - - - G - - -
And no one is watching me slide
C - G - D - D+ -
Below street level, barely alive
We live out where the street ends
In a basement aprartment, just like our friends
We always said that we'd be different
But you know now that we weren't
Cause there's hole in all the bottles in my long term...
Every time I breathe
Every time I try to leave
Every time I breathe
All the chords are of the same length, with a dash meaning simply
to continue playing that same chord. This is how I play the
chords:
C G D D+
e|---3---|---3---|---2---|---3---|
b|---3---|---3---|---3---|---3---|
g|---0---|---0---|---2---|---2---|
d|---2---|---0---|---0---|---0---|
a|---3---|---2---|
e| |---3---|
and D(+) means to just throw in the + part (ie. first string, third
fret) for a second in the D chord.
Standard disclaimers apply to this (ie. any of a number of parts
may be wrong), and comments, corrections, etc. are welcomed. Or
just e-mail me if you like the song, or the band, or if you have
music for any bands like Weeping Tile, The Lowest of the Low,
Killjoys, Sloan, Jale, Rheostatics, Eric's Trip, and stuff like
that. Later.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WEEPING TILE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
