  Every minute that we spend 
Am           Em                D 
There is something to break down for 
                E

Keep your mind on me

A                              D 
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

A                                    D 
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
