Eb Tuning (down a half step)
I had to learn this song for my band, and found many versions which I thought were
inaccurate. This is what I hear; it's not perfect but I believe it's closer than most other
versions I've found. The numbers like this (2) above lyrics mean how many measures that
chord is strummed. I tried my best to notate this accurately, but you'll have to know the
song to get it perfect.

[Verse 1]
E5 G5 C5 (2)
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up
E5 G5 C5 (2)
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck
E5 G5 C5 (2) Dadd4 (4)
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost
E5 G5 C5 (2)
I'll show you mine, if you show me yours first

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

Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
[Chorus]
Em7 G Cadd9 Dsus4
We live on front porches and swing life away
Em7 G Cadd9 Dsus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 G Cadd9 Dsus4
If love is a labor I'll slave 'till the end
Em7 G Cadd9 Dadd4
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
[Verse 2]
E5 G5 C5 (2)
Been here so long, think that it's time to move
E5 G5 C5 (2)
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
E5 G5 C5 (2) Dadd4 (4)
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
E5 G5 C5 (2)
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
E5 G5 C5 (2)
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
E5 G5 C5 (2) Dadd4 (4)
We chased these days down with talks of the places that we will go
[Chorus 2]

We live on front porches and swing life away

We get by just fine here on minimum wage
