Moving Furniture Around
From the album Odessa
[INTRO]
D
[VERSE 1]
D A
Took a walk down the alley today,
C G
I'm getting used to the smells and the sounds
D A
Don't look out of my windows no more
C G
What's the point? Everything's brown
D A
Sometimes I want to move
C G
To the other side of town
D A
But to keep from going out of my mind,
C G
I move the furniture around
[REFRAIN]
Em G D
Moving furniture around
[VERSE 2]
D A
No place to park in my neighborhood
C G
So there's $100 tickets all over the ground
D A
All the cops keep a-writing 'em up,
C G
And we keep throwing them down
D A
Sometimes I want to move
C G
To the other side of town
D A
There's a street over there where the landlords are fair
C G
And a parking space can always be found
[REFRAIN]
Em G D
But I move my furniture around
[BRIDGE]
D C Bm F#
Whenever I feel I'm on my way down,
G D
I get up and move the furniture around
[VERSE 3]
D A
Guy next door plays Dylan till 4
C G
I bang on the wall, but he won't turn it down
D A
Can't tell by the noise what's going on upstairs
C G
Moving furniture around?
D A
Everybody moved out of my building last week
C G
They threw the stuff they didn't want on the ground
D A
Took a look, I couldn't believe
C G
the wonderful things I found
[REFRAIN]
Em G D
Old furniture to move around
[OUTRO]
D A C G
Moving furniture around
Em G D
