G            D          Em
Jeff found a genie in a bottle
           C          
who said, \"I can give 
                 D
you anything you ask.
        G
You can have your wishes, three,
      D                Em

it\'s unlimited just set 
          G
me to the task.\"

said, \"I want houses.

I want boats, 
                    D
I want fancy modern art.
       G
I want tickets to the MET,
       D              Em
I want my own private jet,

and a rocket into space 
           G
just for a start!\"

[Verse]
          G               D    
Well, the genie waved her arms 
            Em
and made it happen.
    C                          D
His every wish bolted from the blue.
    G
And folks all over town
      D                  Em
grew enamored, gathered \'round,
     C                D      
to admire the man who wishes 
         G
had come true.

[Chorus]
                  C       
They said, \"Let\'s hear it 
        D           G
for the man who has everything.
        C              D   
By good fortune he was set 
        Em
so far apart.
           C           D    
Yeah let\'s hear it for Jeff 
          Em
who\'s got everything.
           C          D    
‘Cause his wishes are only 
       G
at the start.\"

[Verse]
      G                D      
Well, Jeff heard their shouts 
            Em
and he grew worried.
          C           
He said, \"Everybody\'s 
              D
getting in my way.\"
          G
The genie smiled as before,
        D                    Em
\"You\'ve got a million wishes more,
        C           D     
you can even give a bunch 
        G
of them away.\"

[Verse]
      G           D     
Well, Jeff got confused 
          Em
and sorta quiet.
        C             
\'Til he finally said, 
                      D
\"I have just one wish more.
G
I am satisfied,
     D                   Em
so I wish that you would die,
       C            D         G
so you cannot grant wishes anymore.\"

[Verse]
          G                D   
Well, the genie\'s eyes got big 
            Em
and sad and shiny.
         C             
‘Til she finally said, 
                 D
\"Your wish is my command.\"
            G
And with an effervescent sigh
         D                 Em
she disappeared before his eyes
       C           
and no wishes were 
     D             G
ever granted there again.

[Chorus]
         C               D   
So let\'s hear it for the man 
        G
who has everything.
        C          
By good fortune he 
    D           Em
was set so far apart.
           C           D    
Yeah let\'s hear it for Jeff 
          Em
who\'s got everything.
      C              D     
Every single fucking thing 
         G
except a heart.

CHORDS: Philip Labes – In My Apartment Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are the chords for In My Apartment by Philip Labes on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Am7    Cmaj7  D/F#  G
mass - ive    com - plex

[Verse 1]
 G
Apartment A is cold as ice
  G
Because she knows she’s hot
     Am
And Apartment B\'s a communist
    Am
But hogs the parking spot
     Em
And Apartment C\'s a mystery
    Em
And always carries cash
     C                          
We’d probably be frustrated but 
     D7
he\'s where we get our stash

[Verse 2]
    G
The guy who lives below me
     G
Is a recent divorcé
        Am
And the gal who lives above me
        Am
Got her heart broke yesterday
      Em
And I wonder if 
they\'re meant to be
       Em
But\'ll never find the door
    D7
And all that\'s in their way is 
just my ceiling and my floor

[Pre-Chorus]
         Cadd2
And when I got mugged my neighbors
         Em7                 D
Were the ones that rubbed my back
       Cadd2
Living thin in these one-bedrooms
         Em7               D
While we keep our landlord fat
          Cmaj7         B7   
Yeah it\'s just the 81 of us, 
        B7  B7sus4/D# Em7
the laundry, and the rat
            Cmaj7
But I don\'t mind it

[Chorus]
      Cmaj9
In my apartment
                   G       
There\'s nothing in between 
            D
us but some plaster
      Cmaj9
In my apartment
                 Em7 
We gossip and we spy 
            D
and we have sex
      Cmaj9
In my apartment
                    G    
Never asked to be a part 
        D
of this collective
        Am7             
Sharing nothing but the 
                C
zip code on our checks
      N.C.*
And a massive complex

[Verse 3]
    G
The guy across the hall
          G
Is such a natural with plants
        Am
That he gets a pretty garden
        Am
And the rest of us get ants
    Em
The man upstairs, once came down
    Em
And told us to be fair
    D7
But sometimes I’m not even sure 
he really lives up there

[Verse 4]
    G
The girl next door is married
        G
But I’m holding out a fight
           Am
\'Cause her boy’s either a cheater
   Am
Or he just works at night
          Em
There\'s an elderly old woman
           Em
Who always asks me for the time
      D7
She\'s lived her since 
the seventies, 
so her rent is half of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
      Cadd2
And I never see my family
      Em7             D
And I don\'t have many friends
         Cadd2
And it’s funny to imagine
         Em7             D
That the day I reach the end
          Cmaj7           
I\'ll have spent more time 
     B7        
with strangers 
        B7   B7sus4/D# Em7
I could barely comprehend
            Cmaj7
But I don\'t mind it

      Cmaj9
In my apartment
                   G       
There\'s nothing in between

We gossip and we spy and 
        D
we have sex

[Bridge]
Em7        D7/F#          Gmaj7
And if I\'m lucky enough to find
               Cmaj7 
A house that\'s cheap 
        D7sus4 Em7
enough I can buy
            Dsus4
I know I\'ll get peace and quiet
    Em7              D/F#      
But somehow miss the screaming 
             Em7
and crying
                     Dsus4  
Of eighty people all living 
           Cmaj9
and dying
            Cmaj7  
But I don\'t mind it

[Chorus]
      Cmaj9
In my apartment
                   Em7     
There\'s nothing in between 
             Dsus4
us but some plaster

(You live next door right?)

[Chorus]
      Cmaj9
In my apartment
                   Em7     
There\'s nothing in between 
             Dsus4
us but some plaster
      Cmaj9
In my apartment
                 Em7 
We gossip and we spy
