Moving

         D
It went well
You didn't have to do it all by 
     C
yourself
                            G
Some friends came over and helped
                              D
A hand truck, a friend with a van
                        D
And you're moving out again
                            C
Remembering when you first came
It's crazy these streets look the 
 G
same
They looked different when they were
   D
 strange
                           D
And it's always weird to erase
                C
Every personal trace
From a place you called home for a 
 G
while
                               D
And see all that you own in a pile
                            D
A place that had become a friend
                            C
To return it to how it had been
                                  G
To be friends with whomever moves 
    D
in
                D
And you stick around
                         C
After all the boxes are down

The fridge is empty- just one ice 
 G
tray
                                D
And you swept and mopped more today
                                D
Than the entire time that you stayed
                               C
It's a shame you now have to leave
The place is actually nice when it's
   G
 clean
                            D
It wasn't hard mopping the floor
                               D
Why didn't you ever do that before?
                             C
Now the van is down on the corner
And you've done everything that 
         G
you're gonna
There's some pennies and dust on 
       D
that shelf
But the landlord can clean it 
    D
herself
And you're not sure, but you're 
           C
going to claim
The blinds were busted like that 
          G    D
when you came
Em7                          Em
Man, so existential in that room
                           Em     D
So existential with that broom
 Em7
Cause the room looks the same
                        Em
Except there's no life left
                              Em   
And you start thinking about death
  D

 Em7                          Em
When you die, will it be the same?
No more thoughts decorating your 
  Em
brain?
An empty space for the world to 
    D
reclaim?
 Em7                           
You're on the verge of thinking 
            A
something deep
                                A
Then you hear the van give the beep
          D                        
Then you take one last look around 
         C
to make sure
Then you take one last walk out the 
 G
door
                                D
And you'll never again see the angle
Of the street you saw from that 
   D
window
                                 C
You take the key out of your pocket
You close the front door and you 
 G
lock it
                               D
Drop the key back through the slot
                                D
Sure hope there's nothing you forgot
