Introduction:C9
EmGC9 Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up? EmGC9 Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck? EmGC9D4 Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost? EmGC9 I'll show you mine if you show me yours first EmGC9 Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse EmGC9D4 Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
EmGC9D4 We live on front porches and swing life away EmGC9D4 We get by just fine here on minimum wage EmGC9D4 If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end EmGC9D4 I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
EmGC9 I've been here so long; think that its time to move EmGC9 The winter's so cold summer's over too soon EmGC9D4 so let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow EmGC9 I've got some friends, some that I hardly know EmGC9 But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world EmGC9D4 We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
EmGC9D4 We live on front porches and swing life away EmGC9D4 We get by just fine here on minimum wage EmGC9D4 If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end EmGC9D4 I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand EmGC9 Swing life away EmGC9 Swing life away EmGC9D4 Swing life away EmGC9 Swing life away
