Jeff Rosenstock - Staring Out The Window At Your Old Apartment Chords

[Intro]

G B C Am (x2)


[Verse 1]

G    B          C              Am
Someone hung a decorative surfboard
    G      B      C           Am  
Up where your records and movies belong
G     B            C         Am
This light makes it nearly impossible
Em             B             C            Am 
To see if they fixed all the cracks in the wall


[Chorus]

G                       Em
Staring out the window at your old apartment
Am              D                       
Imagining the old you stumbling through 
G                           Em
tacky renovations That the landlord wanted 
Am                 D
to cash in on the boom
G                           C
And you don't know where to go now
G                     C
You've got nowhere to go now


[Verse 2]

G    B         C           Am
I wish you'd come down and meet me here
G    B         C           Am 
I'm gridlocked I'm not going anywhere
G    B      C    Am
I've had a bad year


[Chorus]

G                       Em
Staring out the window at your old apartment
Am              D                       
Imagining the old you stumbling through 
G                           Em
tacky renovations That the landlord wanted 
Am                 D
to cash in on the boom


[Post-Chorus] 
(I mix this up a bit with some picking and palm muting to crescendo)

G                           C
And you don't know where to go now
G                      C
You've got nowhere to go now
G                        C
You don't know where to go now
G                      C
You've got nowhere to go now
G                        C
You don't know where to go now
G                      C
You've got nowhere to go now


[Bridge]

Em              B          C       Am
The city don't care if you live or die
Em              B           C            Am
It's just gonna grow and it doesn't care why 
Em               B           C               Am  
you're tired of kicking and fighting through life
Em             B            C         Am
And left me alone on this cold winter night just


[Chorus] 
(variation)

G                       Em
Staring out the window at your old apartment
Am              D                       
Imagining the old you stumbling through 
B                           Em
tacky renovations That the landlord wanted 
Am                 D
to cash in on the boom


[Post-Chorus]

G                           C
And you don't know where to go now
G                     C
You've got nowhere to go now
G                     C
You've got nowhere to go now
G                     C
You don't know where to go now

End on G
