Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first

Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
      Em7              Cadd9           G                 Asus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
      Em7              Cadd9           G                 Asus4
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
      Em7                    Cadd9        Asus4           Dsus4
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
                 Em7       Dsus4              Cadd9  Cadd9
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
                     Em7           G           Cadd9  Cadd9
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Em7                  G            Cadd9  Cadd9            Dsus4
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
                    Em7    Dsus4              Cadd9  Cadd9
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
                    Em7    G           Cadd9  Cadd9
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
       Em7                   G            Cadd9  Cadd9            Dsus4
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
      Em7              Cadd9           G                 Asus4
We live on front porches and swing life away,
      Em7              Cadd9           G                 Asus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
