G      D             Cadd9
Broke into the old apartment
G       D                  Cadd9
This is where we used to live
G          D                 Em7
Broken glass, broke and hungry
            Cadd9

Broken hearts and broken bones
G       D                   Cadd9
This is where we used to live
Em7   D                  Em7   Cadd9
Why did you paint the walls?
Em7   D                 Cadd9
Why did you clean the floor?
Em7           D                Cadd9    D
Why did you plaster over 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            G
Why did you keep the dishrack?
            D
These things used to be mine
          Cadd9                          D
I guess they still are, I want them back
G      D             Cadd9
Broke into the old apartment
G      D                    Cadd9
Forty-two stairs from the street
G        D                Em7
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
         Cadd9
Narrow laneway filled with crooks.
G        D                 Cadd9
This is where we used to live.
Em7   D                Em7      Cadd9
Why did they pave the lawn?
Em7   D                 Cadd9
Why did they change the locks?
Em7   D             Cadd9       D
Why did I have to break it, 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              G
How is her temper this year?
          D            Cadd9                             D
I turned up your tv and stomped on the floor just for fun
Em7  D             G          Cadd9
I know we don’t live here anymore
Am7   D            Cadd9
We bought an old house on the danforth
Em7   D             G            Cadd9
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
Am7    D
I’m happy here
G            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

Blending into dull tableaux
G  D          Cadd9
I want them back
G  D          Cadd9
I want them back
(This is where we used to live)
G  D          Cadd9
I want them back
(This is where we used to live)
G  D         Cadd9
I want them back
(This is where we used to live)
G  D         Em
I want them back!
