THE OLD APARTMENT - Barenaked Ladies

It's a damn shame that no one has submitted the tab for this sweet-ass song!  
So here it is, people!

CHORDS USED:

Bb[688766]     
F [x8/10/10/10x]     
Eb[x6888x]     
Gm[355333]

Alternate method! -Capo 3rd fret, replace Bb with G, F with D, and Eb with C, and Gm with Em.

VERSE:

Bb (x1333x@1)      F (133211@1)         Eb (x43121@3)                   
  Broke into the old apartment
Bb (x1333x@1)       F (133211@1)                 Eb (x43121@3)        
  This is where we used to live

CHORUS:

Gm (355333@1)          F (133211@1)       Eb (x43121@3)       
  Why did you paint the walls
Gm (355333@1)          F (133211@1)       Eb (x43121@3)
  Why did you clean the floor
Gm (355333@1)          F (133211@1)     Eb (x43121@3)                    
  Why did you plaster over 
         Eb (x43121@3)             BbThe (x1333x@1)hole I punched in the door

SOME OTHER PART THAT ISN'T A BRIDGE BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE VERSE OR CHORUS:

Bb (x1333x@1)  F (133211@1)              Eb (x43121@3)       
  Why did you keep the mousetrap
    F (133211@1)              BbWhy (x1333x@1)did you keep the dish rack
             F (133211@1)                     
These things used to be mine
  Eb (x43121@3)                             F(strum (133211@1)once, mute fast)
I guess they still are, I want 'em back

BRIDGE:

Gm (355333@1)              F (133211@1)          Eb (x43121@3) Bb (x1333x@1)        
  I know we don't live here anymore

***I am just taking a wild guess with the bridge.  It is played a lot like the chorus, 
but I do think there is a Bb stuck in there somewhere, listen for it and tell me if I'm
right.
