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

Swing life away

Swing life away
Gm F D# F
Swing life away
Gm F D# Gm C~
Swing life away
