TITLE: The Old Apartment
Lyrics and Chords


[ C9 =  ; Capo 3 ]

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live  
Broken glass, broke and hungry, broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

/ G D C9 - / / / /

   Why did you paint the walls
   Why did you clean the floor
   Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door

   / Em7 D C9 - / / Em7 D C9 D /

      This is where we used to live
      Why did you keep the mousetrap
      Why did you keep the dish rack
      These things used to be mine
      I guess they still are, want 'em back

      / G D C9 - / G D / C9 D / G D / C9 D /

Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord, narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live

   Why did they pave the lawn
   Why did they change the lock
   Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk

      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 just for fun

I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me, her body keeps me warm
I'm happy here

/ Em7 D G-G/B G/C-G / Am7 D G-G/B G/C-G / 1st / C9 D /

But this is where we used to live
Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories, blending into dull tableaux

I want them back
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
I want them back

/ G D C9 - / / / / G D Cmaj7 - /
