Swing Life Awayv14

Swing Life Away - Rise Against

There are a lot of tabs for this song out there but This one seems way clearer to me and

will definitely help out anyone who wants to learn this song. I've included the acoustic

solo which I'd like to say is perfect. Please rate this tab, whether you like it or

not... I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep tabbing. Any comments, email me at

riley_m15@hotmail.com, subject: "your tab" Thanks. ENJOY

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?

Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?

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

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

Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse

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

We live on front porches and swing life away,

Eb Gb Bsus c#sus4

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I 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 chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....til you hold my hand

Throughout solo, attempt to put emphasis on strings 1,2 and 3 to pick out melody.

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

Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse

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

We live on front porches and swing life away,

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
