[Intro]
D G D G

[Verse 1]
            D
We took the door off of the hinge
        G
Wrote a letter to the landlord 
saying we're sorry but
    D
The world kept knocking
         G
And it's too damn pretty to not see 
the city
       D
So the windows had to go too
            G
And there's no skylights so we cut a
 few
     Em      G       D
This love is way too big
      Em                 A
To be kept in this tiny apartment so

[Chorus]
G         D
Grab your shoes
    A                    Bm
The clothes that you got on will 
have to
G      D
Doo-oo-ooh~
    A                         Bm
The key's in the door and the rent's
 in the mailbox
G                    D
I'll take the wheel, you take the 
window
Bm                     Em         
Maybe I'm nuts but the city's not 
D          G
big enough for
       D   A
Me and you-ooh

             D
So grab your shoes

[Verse 2]
            D
We pushed a square into a hole
         G
That was made for circle-jumping 
hurdle after hurdle
     D
It's kind of getting old
          G
And we're way too young to not have 
fun
          D
So if the world keeps bugging you
     G
Well knock it down and make a little
 more room
     Em      G       D
This love is way too big
   Em                A
So let's not keep it waiting, oh

[Chorus]
G         D
Grab your shoes
    A               Bm
The clothes you got on will have to
G      D
Doo-oo-ooh~
    A                         Bm
The key's in the door and the rent's
 in the mailbox
G                    D
I'll take the wheel, you take the 
window
Bm                     Em         
Maybe I'm nuts but the city's not 
D          G
big enough for
       D   A
Me and you-ooh~

Yeah~

[Bridge]
          D
Leave our couch sitting on the 
sidewalk
          G
Leave our TV lying in the alley
           Bm
All of the clothes we don't have on
   A
Go out through the window and onto 
the lawn
    D
The mattress goes in the dumpster
            G
That stupid lamp, why even bother?
             Bm
We've always been more than enough
      A
And I know there's a place somewhere
 better for us
            Em      G       D
'Cause this love is way too big
      Em                 A
To be kept in this tiny apartment

[Chorus]
G         D
Grab your shoes
    A                    Bm
The clothes that you got on will 
have to
G      D
Doo-oo-ooh~
    A                         Bm
The key's in the door and the rent's
 in the mailbox
G                    D
I'll take the wheel, you take the 
window
Bm                     Em         
Maybe I'm nuts but the city's not 
D          G
big enough for
       D   A
Me and you-ooh
  Em       D   A
Oh, me and you-ooh
            D
So grab your shoes
