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]
