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
Cadd9
Broken hearts and broken homes
G D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
Em7 D2 Cadd9
Why did you paint the walls?
Em7 D2 Cadd9
Why did you clean the floor?
Em7 D2 Cadd9
Why did you plaster over
D G
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 Cadd9
Why did you keep the dish rack?
D
These things used to be mine
Cadd9 D
I guess they still are, I want 'em back
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
Em7 D2 Cadd9
Why did they pave the lawn?
Em7 D2 Cadd9
Why did they change the locks?
Em7 D2 Cadd9
Why did I have to break it?
D G
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 Cadd9
How is her temper this year?
D
I turned up your TV
Cadd9 D
And stomped on the floor just for fun
Em7 D G Cadd9
I know we don't live here anymore
Am7 D G Cadd9
We bought an old house on the Danforth
Em7 D G Cadd9
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
Am7 D G
And I'm happy here
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
Only memories, fading memories
D G
Blend into the dull tableaux
G D Cadd9
I want them back
G D Cadd9
I want them back
D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
G D Cadd9
I want them back
D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
G D Cadd9
I want them back
D Cadd9
This is where we used to live
G D Cmaj7 (let ring...)
I want them back
