Old Apartment — Barenaked Ladies
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.
