We got the books, and the records, and the tapes, and the pictures,
Am/G    Am           Am/E      Am/G      Am       Am/E  Am/G
And the pots and the pans, and all the breakable glass,
      Am        Am/E  Am/G      Am         Am/E  Am/G
The living room couch, and the dining room table,
      Am             Am/E  Am/G    Am         Am/E  Am/G
The washer, and the dryer, what a pain in the ass!


              Am         Am/E  Am/G      Am         Am/E  Am/G
We've got the TV, and the home enter - tainment... centre,
     Am        Am/E  Am/G      Am        Am/E  Am/G
The box spring,       and the queen-size bed,

At the end of the day, the old place is empty,

And the new place hous - es all of our stuff,
  Am          Am/E  Am/G      Am      Am/E  Am/G
Unpack all the crap in the cardboard boxes,
    Am        Am/E  Am/G     Am        Am/E  Am/G
It wasn't that bad,  no, it wasn't so rough,
Am                Am/E   Am/G   Am                Am/E  Am/G
   But my strong buddies...    look a little bit grumpy, 
   Am   Am/E   Am/G   Am          Am/E  Am/G
I don't why----- I  broke my butt,
       Am        Am/E  Am/G      Am       Am/E  Am/G
To - morrow we'll call  up the telephone compan - y,
Am                 Am/E    Am/G   Am  Am/E  Am/G
    And get another set of house keys cut!
