(Verse 1)
Em7 D5 Csus
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Em7 G5 Csus
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Em7 G5 Csus D5
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
Em7 D5 Csus
I'll show you mine; you show me yours first
Em7 G5 Csus
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who's....is worse
Em7 G5 Csus D5
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own....words

(Chorus)
Em7 Csus G5 A5
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em7 Csus G5 A5
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 Csus G5 A5
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Em7 Csus A5 D5
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

(Verse 2)
D5 Em7 D5 Csus
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
Em7 G5 Csus
The winter's so cold, summer's over too....soon
Em7 G5 Csus D5
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
Em7 D5 Csus
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
Em7 G5 Csus
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
Em7 D5 Csus D5
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will....go

(Chorus)

Em7 Csus G5 A5
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em7 Csus G5 A5
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 Csus G5 A5
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Em7 Csus A5 D5
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Csus D5
..until you hold my hand
