Chords

Tabbed by: Jason Scott Email: [email protected] This song's chords are easy; however, it took a long time for this noob to find the right way to palm mute and have the right strum pattern. It's a great way to learn palm muting!

[Verse 1]
              Em          G          Cadd9
Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?

                Em          G      Cadd9
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?

    Em         G              Cadd9           Dsus2
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

              Em          G             Cadd9
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first

              Em         G        Cadd9
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse

      Em            G           Cadd9               Dsus2
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
[Chorus]
   Em            G           Cadd9       Dsus2
We live on front porches and swing life away

   Em          G            Cadd9   Dsus2
We get by just fine here on minimum wage

   Em        G          Cadd9          Dsus2
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end

  Em                G             Cadd9       Dsus2
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
[Verse 2]
                  Em               G           Cadd9
I've been here so long; think that its time to move

                Em            G    Cadd9
The winter's so cold summer's over too soon

   Em             G        Cadd9                  Dsus2
so let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

              Em                 G        Cadd9
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know

                   Em               G             Cadd9
But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world

               Em             G            Cadd9          Dsus2
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
[Chorus]
   Em            G           Cadd9       Dsus2
We live on front porches and swing life away

   Em          G            Cadd9   Dsus2
We get by just fine here on minimum wage

   Em        G          Cadd9          Dsus2
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end

  Em                G             Cadd9       Dsus2
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Em    G    Cadd9
Swing life away

Em    G    Cadd9
Swing life away

Em    G    Cadd9 Dsus2
Swing life away

Em    G    Cadd9
Swing life away
