Intro Riff x3
/ D - - / - - - / D (hold) - - / - - - /
Em G C (2)
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Em G C (2)
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Em G C (2) Dadd4add9 (4,
hold 4th measure)
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
Em G C (2)
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Em G C (2)
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Em G C (2) Dadd4add9 (4, hold 4th measure)
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
Chorus:
Em C G Am
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em C D/A (2)
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em C G Am
If love is a labor I'll slave 'till the end,
Em C D/A (4, hold 4th measure)
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Em G C (2)
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
Em G C (2)
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Em G C (2) Dadd4add9 (4, hold 4th measure)
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
Em G C (2)
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
Em G C (2)
But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world
Em G C (2) Dadd4add9 (4, hold 4th measure)
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
Chorus (don't hold last measure)
Em7 G Cadd9 (2)
Swing life away
Em7 G Cadd9 (2)
Swing life away
Em7 G Am C
Swing life away
Em7 G Cadd9 (4)
Swing life away
End on G
