Em Em A A x2
[Verse 1]
Em
Four walls and so much space
Em
Was way more than just a place
A A
Wasn't it, babe?
Em
A bedroom where you pulled me in
Em
I found out love could start again
A A
Start again
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
And that big tree in the front yard lost a limb
G A
It almost crushed your car, but it didn't
Em
Yeah, we kept livin' in the house
A
Plantin' roses all around
D
Leavin' it better than we found it
Em
Now autumn's movin' in
[Chorus]

And we're movin' out
A Em
Mm
[Verse 2]
Em
Remember I still wore that dress
Em
The Christmas that we all got sick
A A
And partied anyway?
Em
I had a break-up, and then I bought it
Em
You always said it might be haunted
A A
And I think you're right
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
A couple of real big fights that we had
G A
I cried, but it was hard to stay mad
Em
We had good times, can't deny it
A
And even though I feel excited
A
I'm kinda sad we're leavin'
Em
Now that autumn's movin' in
[Chorus]
A Em
And we're movin' out
A Em
We're movin' out
A Em
Mm
