[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 1]
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 2]
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 in, 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
