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.
