[Verse 5]
Am Am/E
We got the books, and the records,
Am/G Am Am/E
And the tapes, and the pictures,
Am/G Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E
And the pots and the pans, and all the breakable glass,
Am/G Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
The living room couch, and the dining room table,

The washer, and the dryer, what a pain in the ass

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

And the new place hous - es all of our stuff,
