Intro: F#---C#5
Verse:
Eb5 F#5 B5
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up
Eb5 F#5 B5
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck
Eb5 F#5 B5 C#5
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost
Eb5 F#5 B5
I'll show you mine, if you show me yours first
Eb5 F#5 B5
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who's is worse
Eb5 F#5 B5 C#5
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
Chorus:
Eb5 F#5 B5
We live on front porches and swing life away
Eb5 F#5 B5
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Eb5 F#5 B5
If love is a labour I'll slave 'till the end
Eb5 F#5 C#5
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Verse 2:
Been here so long, think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chased these days down with talks of the places that we will go
Chorus
Eb5 F#5 C#5
Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
end on F#
