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