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