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)
Em7 / D5 / 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?
> Em7 / D5 / 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)
Em7 / Csus / G5 / A5 /
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em7 / Csus / G5 / A5 /
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 / Csus / G5 / 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)
D5 > Em7 / D5 / 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
> Em7 / D5 / 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)
Em7 / Csus / G5 / A5 /
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em7 / Csus / G5 / A5 /
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 / Csus / G5 / 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)
G5 / G5 / G5 / G5 /
