The Old Apartment

G D C G broke into the old apartment G D C this is where we used to live G D C G broken glass, broke and hungry, broken hearts and broken bones G D C this is where we used to live Em D C why did you paint the walls? Em D C why did you clean the floor? Em D C D G why did you plaster over, the hole I punched in the door? G D C this is where we used to live Em D C why did you keep the mousetrap? C D G why did you keep the dish rack? G D C D *mute* these things used to be mine, I guess they still are I want 'em back G D C G broke into the old apartment G D C G forty-two stairs from the street G D C D G crooked landing, crooked landlord, narrow landway filled with crooks G D C this is where we used to live Em D C why did they pave the lawn? Em D C why did they change the locks? G D C D G why did I have to break in? I only came here to talk G D C this is where we used to live G D C how is the neighbor downstairs? C D G how is her temper this year? G D C D I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun (softly here, getting louder slowly after 2nd phrase, ending with hard strums on "I'm happy there" 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 D C she loves me and her body keeps me warm C D G I'm happy there (normal volume now) 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 G only memories, faded memories blending into dull tableaux G D C D G i want them back.. this is where we used to live G D C D G i want them back.. this is where we used to live G D C i want them back.. G <320003> C <x32010> D <xx0232> Em <022000> This is my first tab put into here, I hope it works, and I hope you enjoy it. On that last C chord, Ed does this thing going up a step kinda, and I'm assuming he's putting 2 extra light strums in to put a voicing with the 3rd fret on the 2nd string... I dunno, mess with it a little, and you'll get it with little trouble. Also all of the first chords on each phrase are hit a beat before the lyric comes in, not right on it. :) any questions, comments, critiques, not raging powetripping complaints.... can be sent to djmccoll@catskill.net thanx again, Ben (Squeege)
