The Old Apartment Chords & Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies
The Old Apartment
guitar chords lyrics
Everyone else was getting one chord wrong, I wondered why it sounded so funky. I only
on the right answer while playing another Barenaked Ladies Song. Anytime someone says "C"
"C9", they should have put in Am7.
Enjoy
Capo the 3rd Fret
G G D D Am7 Am7
Broke into the old apartment
G G D D Am7 Am7
This is where we used to live
G G D D Am7 Am7
Broken glass, broke and hungry
G G D D Am7 Am7
Broken hearts and broken bones
G G D D Am7 Am7
This is where we used to live
Em D Am7
Why did you paint the walls?
Em D Am7
Why did you clean the floor?
Em D Am7
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
G D Am7
This is where we used to live
G D Am7
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
D G
Why did you keep the dishrack?
G D
these things used to be mine
Am7 D
I guess they still are, I want them back
G G D D Am7 Am7
Broke into the old apartment
G G D D Am7 Am7
Forty-two stairs from the street
G G D D Am7 Am7
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
G G D D Am7 Am7
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
G G D D Am7 Am7
This is where we used to live
Em D Am7
Why did they pave the lawn?
Em D Am7
why did they change the locks?
Em D Am7
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
G D Am7
This is where we used to live
G D Am7
How is the neighbor downstairs?
D G
How is her temper this year?
D Am7 D
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
Em D Am7 G
I know we don't live here anymore
Em D Am7 G
We bought an old house on the Danforth
Em D Am7 G
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
D
I'm happy here
G G D D Am7 Am7
But this is where we used to live
G G D D Am7 Am7
Broke into the old apartment
G G D D Am7 Am7
Tore the phone out of the wall
G G D D Am7 Am7
Only memories, fading memories Blending into dull tableaux
G D Am7
I want them back
G D Am7
I want them back. This is where we used live
G D Am7
I want them back. This is where we used live
G D Am7
I want them back. This is where we used live
G D Am7
I want them back
