Swing Life Away

[Intro]
Bm A G
Bm  A  G  A


[Verse]
               Bm    
  Am I loud and clear,
       A          G
or am I breaking up?
                Bm     
  Am I still your charm,
       A      D   G
or am I just bad luck?
    Bm         A          
  Are we getting closer, or
     G                A
are we just getting more lost?


[Pre-Chorus]
              Bm      
  I'll show you mine if
     A             G
you show me yours first
              Bm          
  Let's compare scars, I'll
  A        G
tell you whose is worse
      Bm            A         
  Let's unwrite these pages and
   G                      A
replace them with our own words


[Chorus]
   Bm            A       
  We live on front porches
     G          A
and swing life away,
   Bm          A    
  We get by just fine
         G       A
here on minimum wage
   Bm        A          
  If love is a labor I'll
  G              A
slave till the end,
  Bm                A       
  I won't cross these streets
       G           A
until you hold my hand


[Verse]
                  Bm      
  I've been here so long, I
            A            G
think that it's time to move
                Bm    
  The winter's so cold,
          A    G
summer's over too soon
Bm             A        G     
  Let's pack our bags and settle
                    A
down where palm trees grow
               Bm      
  I've got some friends,
           A        G
some that I hardly know
                   Bm     
  But we've had some times,
            A             G
I wouldn't trade for the world
               Bm             A     
  We chase these days down with talks
        G              A
of the places that we will go


[Chorus]
   Bm            A       
  We live on front porches
     G          A
and swing life away,
   Bm          A    
  We get by just fine
         G       A
here on minimum wage
   Bm        A          
  If love is a labor I'll
  G              A
slave till the end,
  Bm                A       
  I won't cross these streets
       G           A
until you hold my hand
      A
until you hold my hand

      Bm            A         
  Let's unwrite these pages and

replace them with our own words
