G       D            C         G
broke into the old apartment
        D                    C       G
this is where we used to live
         D                 C
broken glass, broke and hungry
         C          C           G
broken hearts and broken bones
          D                 C
this is where we used to live

why did you paint the walls

why did you clean the floor

why did you plaster over
                                 G
the hole i punched in the door
          D                C
this is where we used to live

why did you keep the mousetrap

why did you keep the dishrack

these things used to be mine
                                         G
i guess they still are, i want 'em back
       D               C      G
broke into the old apartment
       D                     C       G
forty-two stairs from the street
            D                C
crooked landing, crooked landlord
          C         C          G
narrow landway filled with crooks
          D                C
this is where we used to live

why did they pave the lawn

why did they change the locks

why did i have to break in
                      G
i only came here to talk
          D               C        G
this is where we used to live
     D                  C
how is the neighbor downstairs
     C         C          G
how is her temper this year
         D                 C
i turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun

i know we don't live here anymore

we bought an old house on the danforth

she loves me and her body keeps me warm
                G
and i'm happy here
              D                C        G
but this is where we used to live
        D              C                G
broke into the old apartment
           D               C            G
tore the phone out of the wall
        D                 C
only memories, fading memories
          C      C       G
blending into dull tableaux
    D         C
i want them back.
