(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
