Property by Ray Davies [Intro] C Em [Verse 1]
G 
My bags are packed, I guess it’s time for me to go.

G
I can't say where I'm headed, 'cause I just don't know.

        Am                      G
When I think of what I'll be losing,

        Am             G
It’s hard to move along,

        Am                      
But it’s harder just to stay here,

Bm                   C        Em      C     Em 
Knowing that I don’t belong.            
[Verse 2]
G
I’ll be in touch, don't worry, I'll be calling you.

G
I’ve got no plans, I'm not sure where I'm going to.

        Am                    G
It’s hard to keep from crying,

        Am                    G
After all that we’ve been through.

        Am
I’ve taken everything I need,

    Bm                         C
Now all that's left belongs to you.
[Chorus]
C                         Em                              
You take the photographs, the ones of you and me,

             C                               Em      
When we both posed and laughed to please the family.

       C                      Em
Nobody noticed then we wanted to be free,

                C             Em
And now there’s no more love,

                C             Em      C       Em
It’s just the property.
[Pre-Bridge]
        Am                G
It’s hard to keep from crying,

        Am                G           Am     Bm      C
After all that we’ve been through.
[Bridge]
C                                              B
Now that it’s all over, now that you and I are free,

C                                                G
Now there’s nothing left except the bit of property.

C                                                  B
Started off with nothing, started off just you and me,

C                                              G
Now that it’s all over you can keep the property.

Am      D                      Am      Em                      
           Property, Property              Property, Property

Am      D                      Am      Em                     
           Property, Property              Property, Property
C G [Verse 3]
C                                        Em
And all the little gifts we thought we’d throw away,

            C                     Em      
The useless souvenirs bought on a holiday.

C                                      Em      
We put them on a shelf, now they’re collecting dust.

C                                     Em      
We never needed them, but they outlasted us.
[Outro]
C       Em                                              C       Em
                (You keep the property)
[Ending] Am G
