Guitar chords with lyrics
Half-Step Down Capo 4 or Standard Capo 3
The studio version of this song is played half-step down without a capo but tim plays it live with the capo
on the fourth (half-step down).
So I'll show you the version tim plays live and the version I play too.. have fun;)
All chords in the verse that are no powerchords (E5,G5,C5,D5) are picked.
The powerchords and the whole chorus are strummed. Powerchords are also muted.
Chords marked with an 'x' are strummed once.
You should listen to the live version of the song to get a feeling for the song...
The picking I use goes like this: The strumming all along the whole song goes like this:
down down up down up, down down up down up, and so on...

Verse 1
Em G C
Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up
Em G C
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck
Em G C D
Are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost
Em G C
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Em G C
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Em G C D
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
Chorus
Em C G A6
'Cause we live on front porches an swing life away
Em C D2
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em C G A6
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
Em C D5
And I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Verse 2
E5 G5 C5 E5 G5 C5
C5x E5 G5 C5
I've been here so long I think that it's time to move
E5 G5 C5
The winter's so cold summer's over too soon
E5 G5 C5 D5
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
E5x G5x C5x
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
E5x G5x C5x
But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world
E5 G5 C5 D5
We chase these days down with talks of places that we will go
Chorus
Em C G A6
'Cause we live on front porches an swing life away
Em C D2
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em C G A6
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
Em C D5
And I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Em C D5
until you hold my hand
