Chords for Defeater - But Breathing Lyrics

_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] I'm haunted but breathing in the next room
Sleeping my [Dm] mother
She's crying and my father's been drinking in [F] our rundown
apartment where the roof is still leaking
[Dm] He's cursing and cussing.
It's just the whiskey
talking and [Bb] I got [Dm] lots of
Memories [C] like this one
_ [Bb] Of empty days and nights been tired [F] and lonesome
But [G] when I think back
[Gm] to all of it
[D] Well, it's all too much
Well, it's all too much when you're just a little [F] kid _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ my little brother
_ Just a newborn baby
_ [Dm] image of my mother
_ Says he's a blessing
[F] but not to
my father Oh how
He hates him [Dm] an undeserving
Mistake he calls him a burden [Bb] and I got [C] lots of
[Bb] memories [F] like this one
_ [Bb] Of picking sides and picking fights between [F] them
_ [G] And when I think back
[Dm] to all of it
[Gm] Well, it's all too much
[D] Well, it's all too much when you're just a little [Bb] kid
When [F] I wake up in [Bb] the morning
It [C] all feels like a bad dream
Well [F] that follows you [Dm] and haunts you [Bb] endlessly
Yeah, it haunts me [G] endlessly
_ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] We're broken and beaten
from abuse and
cheating [D] the addiction and the lying and the promise [D] of
Leaving [F] while the old man was a bastard.
I admire
And loved [C] him [Dm] and us two kids.
We were born [F] in to a family
not a fortune _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
