  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)
       CsusCsus /
A minorAm I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
  /       E minor 7Em7 /   G5G5 / CsusCsus / /
A minorAm I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
 E minor 7Em7 /     G5G5 /    CsusCsus /    /  D5D5 /  / /
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
 >      CsusCsus /
I'll show you mine; you show me yours first
 /      E minor 7Em7 /    G5G5 /     CsusCsus /   /
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who's....is worse
  E minor 7Em7 /       G5G5 /   CsusCsus /       /   D5D5 / / /
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own....words

(Chorus)
 A5A5 /
We live on front porches and swing life away,
 A5A5 /
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
 A5A5 /
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
 E minor 7Em7 /        CsusCsus /    A5A5 /     D5D5 / /
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

(Verse 2)
CsusCsus /
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
   /     E minor 7Em7 /      G5G5 / CsusCsus /  /
The winter's so cold, summer's over too....soon
E minor 7Em7 /      G5G5 / CsusCsus /     /      D5D5 /  / /
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
 >       CsusCsus /
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
   /        E minor 7Em7 /      G5G5 /    CsusCsus /
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
 /       E minor 7Em7 /      D5D5 /    CsusCsus /   /   D5D5 / / / /
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will....go

(Chorus)

A5A5 /
We live on front porches and swing life away,
 A5A5 /
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
 A5A5 /
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
 E minor 7Em7 /        CsusCsus /    A5A5 /     D5D5 / /
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
 CsusCsus /   /   D5D5 / /
..until you hold my hand
