Rise Against – Swing Life Away

Tuning: Eb
Intro:

Em7 G C9 (3x) D5

Verse:
Em7 G C
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Em7 G C
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Em7 G C D?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
Em7 G C
I’ll show you mine; you show me yours first
Em7 G C
Let’s compare scars, I’ll tell you who’s….is worse
Em7 G C D?
Let’s unwrite these pages and replace them with our own….words

Chorus:

Em7 C9 G A5
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Em7 C9 D5
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Em7 C9 G A5
If love is a labor I’ll slave till the end,
Em7 C9 A5 D5
I won’t cross these streets until you hold my hand

Verse:

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

Chorus:

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
..until you hold my hand

Outro:
