[Barenaked Ladies cover]
[Verse 1]
E5 B5 A5 A5
Broke into the old apartment
E5 B5 A5 A5 (Four muted strums)
This is where we used to live
E5 B5 A5
Broken glass, broke and hungry
A5 E5
Broken hearts and broken bones
B5 A5 A5
This is where we used to live
(Pre chorus)
C#m B/D# Aadd9
Why did you paint the walls?
C#m B/D# Aadd9
Why did you clean the floor?
C#m B/D# Aadd9
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
[Chorus]
E5 B5 A5
This is where we used to live
E5 B5 A5
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
E5
Why did you keep the dish rack?
B5
These things used to be mine
A5
I guess they still are, I want them back
[Verse 2]
E5 B5 A5 A5
I Broke into the old apartment
E5 B5 A5 A5 (Four muted strums)
Forty-two steps from the street
E5 B5
Crooked landing
A5
Crooked landlord
A5
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
E5 B5 A5 A5
This is where we used to live
(Pre chorus)
C#m B/D# Aadd9
Why did they pave the lawn?
C#m B/D# Aadd9
Why did they change the locks?
C#m B/D# Aadd9
Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk
[Chorus]
E5 B5 A5
This is where we used to live
E5 B5 A5
How is the neighbour downstairs?
E5
How is her temper this year?
B5 A5
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
(Pre chorus)
C#m B/D# Aadd9
I know we don't live here anymore
C#m B/D# Aadd9
We bought an old house on the Danforth
C#m B/D# Aadd9
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I'm happy there
[Bridge]
(Only bass guitar)
E5 B5 A5
But this is where we used to live
E5 B5 A5 A5
I Broke into the old apartment
[Chorus]
E5 B5 A5
This is where we used to live
E5 B5 A5
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
E5
Why did you keep the dish rack?
B5
These things used to be mine
A5
I guess they still are, I want them back
[Outro]
E5 B5 A5 E5 B5 A5
I Broke into the old apartment (I want them back)
A5 E5 B5 A5 Aadd9
This is where we used to live (I want them back)
