Capo on 3rd fret
[Verse]
G D Cadd9
Broke into the old apartment
G D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
G D Cadd9
Broken glass, broke and hungry
D G
Broken hearts and broken bones
G D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
[Chorus]
Em7 D Cadd9
Why did you paint the walls?
Em7 D Cadd9
Why did you clean the floor?
Em7 D Cadd9 D G
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
G D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
G D Cadd9
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
D G
Why did you keep the dishrack?
G D
these things used to be mine
Cadd9 D
I guess they still are, I want them back
[Verse]
G D Cadd9
Broke into the old apartment
G D Cadd9
Forty-two stairs from the street
G D Cadd9
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
D G
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
G D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
[Chorus]
Em7 D Cadd9
Why did they pave the lawn?
Em7 D Cadd9
why did they change the locks?
Em7 D Cadd9 D G
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
G D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
G D Cadd9
How is the neighbor downstairs?
D G
How is her temper this year?
D Cadd9 D
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
[Verse]
Em7 D G Cadd9
I know we don't live here anymore
Am D G Cadd9
We bought an old house on the Danforth
Em7 D G Cadd9
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
Am D G
I'm happy here
G D Cadd9
But this is where we used to live
G D Cadd9
Broke into the old apartment
G D Cadd9
Tore the phone out of the wall
G D Cadd9 D G
Only memories, fading memories Blending into dull tableaux
[Outro]
G D Cadd9
I want them back
G D Cadd9 D G
I want them back. This is where we used live
G D Cadd9 D G
I want them back. This is where we used live
G D Cadd9 D G
I want them back. This is where we used live
G D Cadd9
I want them back
