OUR FIRST APARTMENT (GHETTO) 


G

You know too much about your neighbor’s sex lives
D C B A B

If you live in apartment in SE Portland
G

Yes all these walls are paper thin and details just come creeping in

D
Like the water from my shower into my neighbor’s downstairs apartment 
C B A B
I’m so sorry

G

Oh, I know the ghetto
  
D C B A B
It’s where I live, It’s where I live! (x2)

G D

An elderly maintenance man did everything he can to stop the leak

Now there’s a whole in the wall and it’s looking bleak
G D

We’ve lived here for a few months. The ants still give us goose bumps in the kitchen

 C B A B
Oh Lord I’m wishing for their eviction Away from me.

G

Oh, I know the ghetto   

D C B A B G
It’s where I live, It’s where I live! (x2)

C G
You see the neighbor’s playing drums till 3 AM
C G                                                          

And the dogs are barking through the night again

C G
The crazy lady’s giving drugs to teenagers
C G 

And the junkie’s buying all of our yard sale stuff
D
Looks like the ghetto

G
Oh, I know the ghetto   

D C B A B G
It’s where I live, It’s where I live! (x2)

G

The carpet might be stained with things we can’t explain

D
There might be mold around the door or maybe something more

G
Truth is I’m happy just to be here and I’m happy I’m with you

D
Because we’ve got plumbing and electricity It’s not the ghetto 
 G
It’s just a pre-gentrified apartment that I used to be able to afford.
