The Basement

Intro Ab  Ab7  C#maj7  Emaj7 




Ab                              Ab7 
   The night's not over for a while 
               C#maj7                Emaj7 
So what's the point of you leaving? 
Ab                              Ab7 
   A couple more just couldn't hurt 
                    C#maj7       Emaj7 
It's the same thing every week 
Ab                       Ab7  C#maj7  Emaj7 
   It's just embarassing 

 

         C#m 
And it's hard to ignore the signs 
                                Emaj7 
When your attention's placed on someone else 
      C#m                
We'll talk for a while, I'm certain 

Drowning, but it's not even worth it 
     Emaj7 
It's getting late 
  C#m        Emaj7  Ebm7 
I can't stay 
                     Ab 
I'll see you next weekend 

( Ab  Ab7  C#maj7  Emaj7 ) 



Ab                              Ab7 
   Too tired to act like someone else tonight 
            C#maj7                 Emaj7 
It's nearly three in the morning 
Ab                              Ab7 
   And don't you ever stop and think 
                   C#maj7        Emaj7 
That it's all just meaningless 
          Ab                    Ab7  C#maj7  Emaj7 
I can't breathe in the basement 


         C#m 
And it's hard to ignore the signs 
                                Emaj7 
When your attention's placed on someone else 
      C#m                
We'll talk for a while, I'm certain 

Drowning, but it's not even worth it 
     Emaj7 
It's getting late 
 C#m         Emaj7  Ebm7 
I can't stay

  Ab     Ab7        C#maj7  C#m 
I really want to go home 
  Ab     Ab7        C#maj7  Amaj7  Emaj7  
I really want to go home
