  Hey, this is a great song, and I am pretty sure that this is correct. Now notice
that I have given the strum for this one and it too is correct, some of the other tabs
aren't. Also I would suggest listening to the song when doing this, just so that you
can get the timing, strum, and what not.

(Verse 1)
       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?
 >      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)
 A5 /
We live on front porches and swing life away,
 A5 /
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
 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)
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
 >       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)

A5 /
We live on front porches and swing life away,
 A5 /
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
 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

(Solo)
