Broke into the old apartment
GG        DD       C9 C9
Forty-two stairs from the street
GG        DD       C9 C9
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
GG        DD       C9 C9
Narrow laneway filled with crooks

This is where we used to live

Why did they pave the lawn?
Em  D                 C9
why did they change the locks?
Em  D                 C9
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk

How is her temper this year?

I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
Em  D            C9                G
I know we don't live here anymore

We bought an old house on the Danforth
Em  D                C9                   G 
She loves me and her body keeps me warm

But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
GG          DD            C9 C9
Tore the phone out of the wall
GG         DD           C9 C9
Only memories, fading memories
        
Blending into dull tableaux

 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        F           Eb                     
  Broke into the old apartment
Bb         F                   Eb          
  This is where we used to live

CHORUS:

Gm            F         Eb         
  Why did you paint the walls
Gm            F         Eb  
  Why did you clean the floor
Gm            F       Eb                      
  Why did you plaster over 
         Eb               Bb
The hole I punched in the door

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

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


BRIDGE:

Gm                F            Eb   Bb          
  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.
