[Verse 1]
Em G C5
Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?
Em G C5
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?
Em G C5 C D
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
Em G C5
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Em G C5
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse
Em G C5 C D
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
[Chorus]
Em G C5
We live on front porches and swing life away
Em G C5 D
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em G C5
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
Em G C5 D
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
[Verse 2]
Em G C5
I've been here so long; think that its time to move
Em G C5
The winter's so cold summer's over too soon
Em G C5 C D
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
Em G C5
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
Em G C5
But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world
Em G C5 C D
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
[Chorus]
Em G C5
We live on front porches and swing life away
Em G C5 D
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em G C5
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
Em G C5 D
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
C5 D
Until you hold my hand
[Bridge]
Em G C5
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Em G C5
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse
Em G C5 C D
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
[Chorus]
Em G C5
We live on front porches and swing life away
Em G C5 D
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em G C5
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
Em G C5 D
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
C5 D
Until you hold my hand
[Outro]
Em G C5
Swing life away
Em G C5
Swing life away
Em G C5 D
Swing life away
Em G C5
Swing life away

hum... so here is my thoughts. great tab overall but the finger picking part at the start feels a little off. I'm no musician but I think it sounds better if instead of puttin 3-2-3 on the first 3 notes you used 2-3-2. Just my feeling. If anybody has anything to add I'd be glad to hear it

I have played this song over and over with a C instead of a C5 and honestly the fifth makes it so much nicer and softer. 10/10 tab!
