[Verse I]
Em7 Dsus4 C9
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Em7 G C9
Am I still your charm, or am I just ba--d luck?
Em7 G C9 Dadd9 (pause)
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting mo--re lost?
Em7 Dsus4 C9
I'll show you mine; if you show me yours first
Em7 G C9
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who's, is worse
Em7 G C9 Dadd9
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own.... words
[Chorus]
Em7 C9 G Asus4
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em7 C9 G Asus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 C9 G Asus4
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Em7 C9 Asus4 Dsus4 (Pause)
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
[Verse]
Em7 Dsus4 C9
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
Em7 G C9
The winter's so cold, the summer's over too - – soon
Em7 G C9 Dadd9 (Pause)
So let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
Em7 Dsus4 C9
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
Em7 G C9
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
Em7 Dsus4 C9 Dadd9
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will.... go
[Chorus]
Em7 C9 G Asus4
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em7 C9 G Asus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 C9 G Asus4
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Em7 C9 Asus4 Dsus4
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Asus4 Dsus4
until you hold my hand
