I tried learning this song from the other tabs on the site, and for the first time 
I didn't think any were quite right.  So I made some tweaks and here is what I 
came up with.  Feel free to contact me at scott@silentlapse.com

Capo 3

G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)           Cadd9Broke (x32030@1)into the old apartment
G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)                 Cadd9This (x32030@1)is where we used to live
G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)               Cadd9 (x32030@1)   
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Cadd9
Broken hearts and broken bones
G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)                 Cadd9This (x32030@1)is where we used to live
Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1)                Cadd9Why (x32030@1)did you paint the walls? 
Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1)                Cadd9Why (x32030@1)did you clean the floor? 
Em (022000@1)  D (xx0232@1)           Cadd9 (x32030@1)DWhy (xx0232@1)did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?

G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)              Cadd9 (x32030@1)  
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
     D (xx0232@1)                GWhy (320003@1)did you keep the dishrack?
              D (xx0232@1)          
These things used to be mine
  Cadd9 (x32030@1)                           D (xx0232@1)

Broke into the old apartment
G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)                  Cadd9 (x32030@1) 
Forty-two stairs from the street
G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)              Cadd9Crooked (x32030@1)landing, crooked landlord
       D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1)   
Narrow laneway filled with crooks.
G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)               C (x32010@1)
This is where we used to live.
Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1)                 Cadd9Why (x32030@1)did they pave the lawn? 
Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1)                  Cadd9Why (x32030@1)did they change the locks? 
Em (022000@1) D (xx0232@1)           Cadd9 (x32030@1)    D (xx0232@1)  
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)              Cadd9 (x32030@1)
