G G D D Cadd9 Cadd9
Broke into the old apartment.

This is where we used to live.

Broken glass, broke and hungry, broken hearts and

broken bones.

Why did you paint the walls?

Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?

This is where we used to live.

Why did you keep the mousetrap, why did you keep the dishrack?

Broke into the old apartment.

Crooked landing, crooked landlord, narrow landway filled with crooks.

This is where we used to live.

Why did they pave the lawn?

Why did they change the locks?

This is where we used to live.

How is the neighbor downstairs? How is her temper this year?

I turned up your tv and stomped on the floor
D D
just for fun.

Em Em D D G G C C
I know we don't live here anymore.

We bought an old house on the danforth.

(and) I'm happy here.

But this is where we used to live.


Verse 3:

G G D D Cadd9 Cadd9
Broke into the old apartment.
G G D D Cadd9 Cadd9
Tore the phone out of the wall.

Only memories, fading memories blending into dull tableaux.

I want them back.
(This is where we used to live)

I want them back.
(This is where we used to live)

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