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#
