Em D G C Why did you clean the floor? Em D C D Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door? G D C This is where we used to live G D C Why did you keep the mousetrap? G D C Why did you keep the dishrack? G D C These things used to be mine D I guess they still are, I want them back G D C Broke into the old apartment G D C Forty-two stairs from the street G D C Crooked landing, crooked landlord G D C Narrow laneway filled with crooks. G D C This is where we used to live. Em D G C Why did they pave the lawn? Em D G C 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 C This is where we used to live G D C How is the neighbor downstairs? How is her temper this year? G D C 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 D G C We bought an old house on the danforth Em D G C She loves me and her body keeps me warm Em D I’m happy here G D C But this is where we used to live G D C Broke into the old apartment G D C Tore the phone out of the wall G D C Only memories, fading memories Blending into dull tableaux G D C I want them back G D C I want them back (This is where we used to live) G D C I want them back (This is where we used to live) G D C I want them back (This is where we used to live) G D Em I want them back!
