G		C	G	Am		

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?

Am		C	Dm	G

Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?

C			Dm			G

Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?



G		C	G		Am	

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first

Am		C	Dm	G

Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse

C			Dm			     G

Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words



C				G           Am

We live on front porches and swing life away,

C			   Dm	  G

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

C		G	            Am

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,

C			         G

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand



G		C	 G		Am	

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move

Am		C	Dm		G

The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon

C			Dm			G

Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow



G		C		G	Am

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know

Am		        C		Dm		G	

But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world

G		C			Dm		G

We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go



C				G           Am

We live on front porches and swing life away,

C			   Dm	  G

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

C		G	            Am

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,

C			         G

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand



C        G     Am

Swing life away…
