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

Em	          D	             C			Em		D		C 
 Why d	id you paint the walls?  Why d	id you clean the floor? 
  Em	D			C				D 
 Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door 
  
G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
This is where we used to live	.      	  
 G	D	Cadd9	D 
 Why did you keep the mousetrap, why did you keep the dish rack 
 	G	D	Cadd9						D 
 These things used to be mine, I guess they still  are, I want 'm back. 

G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9		G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
 Broke into the old apartment. 	Forty-two stairs from the street.     
G	D	Cadd9	Cadd 
 Crooked landing, crooked landlord, narrow land way filled with crooks 
 G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
 This is where we used to live  

Em	          D	             C			Em		D		C 
 Why did they pave the lawn? Why did they change the locks? 
  Em	D			C				D 
 Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk 
 G	D	Cadd9	D 
This is where we used to live	.      	  
 G	D	Cadd9	D 
 How is the neighbor downstairs?  How is her temper this year 
 G	D	Cadd9								D 
  I turned up your tv and stomped on the floor	just for fun 

Em	  D				G			C 
 	I know we don't 	live here anymore.  
Em	C	D				G		C 
 	We bought an old house on the danforth 
 Em		D				G	C							 C	D 
 	She loves me and her body keeps me warm;  (and) I'm happy here 
  
G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
But this is where we used to live	.      	  
 G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
 Broke into the old apartment.  	  
 G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
 Tore the phone out of the wall.    	  
 G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
 Only memories fading memories blending into dull tableaux 
G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
I want them back.   (This is where we used to live) 
 	G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
I want them back.   (This is where we used to live) 
 	G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
I want them back.   (This is where we used to live) 
 	G	D	Cadd9	Cadd9 
I want them back.
