Em  C  G  D Dsus2 D   (These five chords are repeated in an even order from start to finish.)

Em               C                G            D     Dsus2 D
Just between the dumpster and the meat packing plant

Is the house whose basement is the place I call my flat

I'm slim and still I'm barely fitting in the shower stall

And when I'm done the water drains into my bedroom wall


2nd verse:

The lease I signed is witchcraft

It's an automatic hex

At night I listen to my upstairs neighbours having sex

My ugly ugly neighbours' moanings leave me quite disturbed

And when at night 

They have a fight

I'm tired and perturbed


Chorus (see chorus below)

3rd verse:

The meat packing slaughterhouse doth leave a lovely smell

The odour fills the air of one square mile of where I dwell

The trucks that go right by my door there seven days a week

Are helping the economy but ruining my sleep


Chorus:
I'm living in

The worst apartment in the city

I'm dying in

The worst apartment in the city

I must be pretty dumb

To have thought this was a lovely slum

And moved

Into the worst apartment in the city


4th verse:

Paradise is anywhere but where I lay my head

Home is where the heart is but my heart is filled with dread

I really wish the rodents would help out with the rent

But they're getting free ride and reign of this apart-a-ment


Chorus


I'm living in the worst apartment in the city

I'm dying in the worst apartment in the city
             Em         C               G
I'm dying in the worst apartment in the city
