          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

              Eb          Gb          Bsus
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
                Eb           Gb       Bsus
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
    Eb         Gb             Bsus                 C#6
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

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

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
                Eb             Gb       Bsus
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Eb             Gb       Bsus                         C#6
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
