D        A                Am
  Every minute that we spend
Am           Em                D
There is something to break down for
                E
So just change key
                 D
Keep your mind on me
                E

We can share a room, share a bed, save rent as cellmates
A                                   D
You'd think it was a crime to be alive

(that's your depression talking)
A 
  We're living in squalor
D 
  That's the name of this house
A 
  This house is called squalor by all
A
  There's a door broken somewhere but

I never can remember quite where

We'd be starving artists if we were artists
A                                     D
But we won't let ourselves become the art

(no we'll never sink that low)
A 
  Remember when we made jokes?
D 
  Now we're too poor for laughter
A 
  No, fuck it, we're too poor to be serious
A 
  So make me laugh again

  I've seen some things that I won't forget
A           D                  F#m
  Ashtray carpets and starving pets
A                     D                        F#m
  If it's out of our hands then we'd better regret
A               D              F#m
  We spent the rest on cigarettes
