Verse:
               Em7                   G
(Am I loud and clear?) Or do I gotta scream
            Cadd9
Like I did every day when I was troubled teen? Aah
Em7            G
 Do you wanna know my past
         Cadd9
And see every single scar, know what they mean? Aah
Em7       G                    Cadd9
Seventeen running up in Mickey D's, begging for a double-cheese, aah
Dsus2
Singing, "I don't wanna grow up, don't nobody like you when you're twenty three", I
Em7                G                 Cadd9
 Came from nothing but a fucking unsupportive father I don't ever see, I
Em7             G                   Cadd9
 Had to watch a crooked jury put my brother in a penitentiary, I
Em7            G          Cadd9
 Never fit in, criticism, made me the man I couldn't be, I'm
Dsus2
Reminiscing on when life was different, spending every day at Chuck E. Cheese, aah!


Chorus:
   Em7           G           Cadd9       G
We live on front porches and swing life away,
   Em7         G            Cadd9       Cadd9
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
   Em7       G          Cadd9          G
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end,
    Em7            G              Cadd9     Dsus2
And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance


Verse:
                       Em7               G
(I've been here so long!) Maybe I should, run away
Cadd9
 Try to find a, summer day
Em7             G
 What is love? Love is pain
Cadd9
 Love is butterflies and stomach aches
Em7               G
 Love is looking out a window pane
Cadd9
Tears dripping, looking like you in the rain
Dsus2
For someone you don't even know but for somebody you may never see again, aah
Em7         G
 I am only, alive once
Cadd9
 And I'ma die, when God wants
Em7               G
 So fill the sky, with diamonds
Cadd9
'cause that's how it's gon' look when I'm gone
Em7           G                 Cadd9
Had a vision as a kid that one day

I would change the world with my song
Dsus2
Several years have passed and now that vision came to life, that boy's a fucking icon


Chorus:
   Em7           G           Cadd9       G
We live on front porches and swing life away,
   Em7         G            Cadd9       Cadd9
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
   Em7       G          Cadd9          G
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end,
    Em7            G              Cadd9     Dsus2
And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance


Bridge:
N.C.
   Sometimes I don't want to fuckin' wake up

When all they wanna do is bring me down

And all the things I went through as I came up

Are the fuckin' reasons why I run this town


Chorus:
N.C.
We live on front porches and swing life away, (it's all about this)

We get by just fine here on minimum wage (I told you, woo!)
   Em7       G          Cadd9          G
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end, ('til the end)
    Em7            G              Cadd9     Dsus2
And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance
   Em7           G           Cadd9      G
We live on front porches and swing life away, (All my dreamers)
   Em7         G            Cadd9   Cadd9
We get by just fine here on minimum wage (Stay real)
   Em7       G          Cadd9          G
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end, (And to my love)
    Em7            G              Cadd9     Dsus2
And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance (Stay here)
