Am G F G
[Verse]
Am G F
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am G C F
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Am G F G
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G F
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Am G F
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Am G F G
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
[Chorus]
Am G F G
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Am G F G
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Am G F G
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Am G F G
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
[Verse]
Am G F
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
Am G F
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Am G F G
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
Am G F
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
Am G F
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
Am G F G
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
[Chorus]
Am G F G
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Am G F G
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Am G F G
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Am G F G
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
G
until you hold my hand
[Interlude]
Am G F G 4x
G
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G F
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Am G F
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Am G F G
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
[Chorus]
Am G F G
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Am G F G
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Am G F G
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Am G F G
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
[Outro]
Am G F
Swing life away
