            [Intro]

G D  Cadd9
G D  Cadd9

[Chorus]

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             
Broken hearts and broken bones
G           D               Cadd9
   This is where we used to live


[Verse]

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?
              D
These things used to be mine
  Cadd9                             D
I guess they still are, I want them back


[Chorus]

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                   
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
G           D              Cadd9
  This is where we used to live


[Verse]

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
         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


[Bridge]

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
            D                 Cadd9
But this is where we used to live


[Chorus]

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
   D        Cadd9          D             G
I want them back.  This is where we used live
  D         Cadd9          D             G
I want them back.  This is where we used live
  D         Cadd9
I want them back
