Property chords by The Kinks

Property by Ray Davies

[Intro]
F Am

[Verse 1]
C
My bags are packed, I guess it’s time for me to go.
C
I can't say where I'm headed, 'cause I just don't know.
    Dm           C
When I think of what I'll be losing,
    Dm       C
It’s hard to move along,
    Dm
But it’s harder just to stay here,
Em          F    Am   F   Am
Knowing that I don’t belong.

[Verse 2]
C
I’ll be in touch, don't worry, I'll be calling you.
C
I’ve got no plans, I'm not sure where I'm going to.
    Dm          C
It’s hard to keep from crying,
    Dm          C
After all that we’ve been through.
    Dm
I’ve taken everything I need,
  Em             F
Now all that's left belongs to you.

[Chorus]
F             Am
You take the photographs, the ones of you and me,
       F                Am
When we both posed and laughed to please the family.
    F           Am
Nobody noticed then we wanted to be free,
        F       Am
And now there’s no more love,
        F       Am   F    Am
It’s just the property.

[Pre-Bridge]
    Dm        C
It’s hard to keep from crying,
    Dm        C      Dm   Em   F
After all that we’ve been through.

[Bridge]
F                       E
Now that it’s all over, now that you and I are free,
F                        C
Now there’s nothing left except the bit of property.
F                         E
Started off with nothing, started off just you and me,
F                       C
Now that it’s all over you can keep the property.

Dm   G           Dm   Am
      Property, Property       Property, Property
Dm   G           Dm   Am
      Property, Property       Property, Property
F    C

[Verse 3]
F                    Am
And all the little gifts we thought we’d throw away,
      F           Am
The useless souvenirs bought on a holiday.
F                                        Am
We put them on a shelf, now they’re collecting dust.
F                                        Am
We never needed them, but they outlasted us.

[Outro]
F    Am                       F    Am
        (You keep the property)

[Ending]
