Broke into the old apartment
GG DD C9 C9
This is where we used to live
GG DD C9 C9
Broken glass, broke and hungry
GG DD C9 C9
Broken hearts and broken bones
GG DD C9 C9
This is where we used to live
Em D C9
Why did you paint the walls?
Em D C9
Why did you clean the floor?
Em D C9
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
G D C9
This is where we used to live
G D C9
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
D G
Why did you keep the dishrack?
G D
these things used to be mine
C9 D
I guess they still are, I want them back
GG DD C9 C9
Broke into the old apartment
GG DD C9 C9
Forty-two stairs from the street
GG DD C9 C9
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
GG DD C9 C9
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
GG DD C9 C9
This is where we used to live
Em D C9
Why did they pave the lawn?
Em D C9
why did they change the locks?
Em D C9
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
G D C9
This is where we used to live
G D C9
How is the neighbour downstairs?
D G
How is her temper this year?
D C9 D
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
Em D C9 G
I know we don’t live here anymore
Em D C9 G
We bought an old house on the Danforth
Em D C9 G
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
D
I’m happy here
GG DD C9 C9
But this is where we used to live
GG DD C9 C9
Broke into the old apartment
GG DD C9 C9
Tore the phone out of the wall
GG DD C9 C9
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux
G D C9
I want them back
