[Verse]
Em G C
Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?
C Em G C C
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?
Em G C C Dsus2 Dsus2;
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
Em G C
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first,
C Em G C C
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse.
Em G C C Dsus2 Dsus2
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words.
[Chorus]
Em C G A
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em C D D
We get by just fine here on minimum wage.
Em C G A
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end,
Em C D D D;
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand.
[Verse]
Em G C
I've been here so long; think that its time to move.
C Em G C C
The winter's so cold, summer's over tooooooooooo soon.
Em G C C Dsus2 Dsus2;
So let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow.
Em G C
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know.
C Em G C
But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world.
C Em G C C Dsus2 Dsus2
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go.
[Chorus]
Em C G A
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em C D D
We get by just fine here on minimum wage.
Em C G A
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end,
Em C D D D;
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand.
