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 who's is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
Chorus:
We live on front porches and swing life away
we get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labour I'll slave til the end
I won't cross thses streets til you hold my hand
continue on for the rest of the song, Verse 2 and chorus,
It's the same chords and strumming pattern all throughout.
