Em7    Dsus4       Cadd9 Cadd9
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
     Em7    G      Cadd9 Cadd9
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Em7         G      Cadd9 Cadd9      Dsus4
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
           Em7      Dsus4       Cadd9 Cadd9
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
           Em7     G      Cadd9 Cadd9
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
   Em7          G      Cadd9 Cadd9      Dsus4
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
   Em7       Cadd9      G         Asus4
We live on front porches and swing life away,
   Em7       Cadd9      G         Asus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
   Em7       Cadd9      G         Asus4
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
   Em7          Cadd9    Asus4      Dsus4
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
         Em7    Dsus4       Cadd9 Cadd9
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
           Em7      G      Cadd9 Cadd9
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Em7         G      Cadd9 Cadd9      Dsus4
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
          Em7  Dsus4       Cadd9 Cadd9
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
          Em7  G      Cadd9 Cadd9
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
    Em7          G      Cadd9 Cadd9      Dsus4
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
   Em7       Cadd9      G         Asus4
We live on front porches and swing life away,
   Em7       Cadd9      G         Asus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
   Em7       Cadd9      G         Asus4
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
   Em7          Cadd9    Asus4      Dsus4     Asus4   Dsus4
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand ........... Until you hold my hand
