Biography:
Sarah Harmer (born on 12 November 1970 in Burlington, Ontario) is a Canadian folk singer.
Harmer gained her first exposure to the musician's lifestyle as a teenager, when her older sister Mary started taking her to concerts by the then-unknown The Tragically Hip. At the age of 17, she was invited to join a Toronto band, The Saddletramps. For three years, she juggled The Saddletramps with her studies in philosophy and women's studies at Queen's University.

Okay, so the most 'tricky' part

G|-------0----0--000--
D|-----2-2----0--000--

[Intro:] (guitar kicks in just before the laughing part)
Cadd9, G, Cadd9, G,
Cadd9, G, D, C (repeat 2x times)
[Verse:]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
You live out where the street ends
Cadd9 G D C
in a basement apt. with one of your friends
Cadd9 G
and the tap drips all night
Cadd9 G
water torture in the sink
Cadd9 G
The furnace is burning
D C Cadd9 G
but it's still cold i think ___
Cadd9, G, Cadd9, G, D, C
Cadd9 G
I can smell the bleach
Cadd9 G
that they use in the hall
Cadd9 G D C
but it can't clean the dirt off of me
Cadd9 G
It's seeping under the door
Cadd9 G
in across the floor
Cadd9 G
it's starting to hurt
[Chorus:]
(D) (C) Cadd9 G Cadd9
Everytime I breatthe__|
G Cadd9 G D C
Everytime I try to leave__|
Cadd9 G D C
Everytime I breathe_____|
[Verse:]
Cadd9 G
Now the toaster sticks
Cadd9 G
and the empties are piled
Cadd9 G D C
I haven't been up the stairs in awhile now
Cadd9 G
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed
Cadd9 G
gotta watch the things that go unsaid
Cadd9 G D C
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]
D
And every evening you open the door
C
You come down
D C
There's nothing like watching tv all night on the ground
D C
and no one is watching me slide
D
below street level
C (pump up this chord, get ready for the chorus)
barely alive
[Instrumental] (chords from the chorus)
[Last verse]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Now we live out where the street ends
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
in a basement apt. just like our friends
Cadd9 G
We always said that we were different
Cadd0 G
but you know now that we weren't
Cadd9 G
'cause there's holes in all the bottles
D C
and my lungs hurt___|
[Repeat Chorus]

how i first played it. Do you have any comment, suggestions, deaththreaths or marriage
