Labour

Verse 1
Bm                        Em7
    Why are you hanging on?
        G
So tight
                               A
To this rope that I'm hanging from
         Bm
Off this island
                       Esus4           Em
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
           G
Carefully timed it
                A
So let me go
N.C.
And dive into the waves below


Pre-Chorus
Bm                      D
   Who tends the orchards?
                 G
Who fixes up the gables?
             F#7
Emotional torture
                             Bm
From the head of your high table
                     D
Who fetches the water?
                         G
From the rocky mountain spring
                     F#7
And walk back down again?
                              G
To feel your words and their sharp sting
G
And I'm getting fucking tired


Chorus
Bm                    D
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
A7
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
Bm              D
For somebody I thought was my saviour
    A7                 A
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
Bm                     D
The callous skin on my hands is cracking
G                 A
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
Bm              DM7
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
G               A              Bm
You make me do too much labour

Bm Em G A
       (you make me do too much labour)

Verse 2
Bm                Em
Apologies for my tongue
           G
And never yours
                             Asus4
Busy lapping from a flowing cup
                          Bm
And stabbing with your fork
                           Em
I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
           G                    A
And weaponise the false incompetence
                        Bm
It's dominance under a guise


Pre-Chorus
            Bm
If we had a daughter
                         G
I'd watch and could not save her
                  F#7
The emotional torture
                            Bm
From the head of your high table
                             D
She'd do what you taught her
                       G
She'd meet the same cruel fate
                  F#7
So now I've gotta run
                     G
So I can undo this mistake
G
At least I've gotta try


Chorus
Bm                    D
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
A7
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
Bm              D
For somebody I thought was my saviour
    A7                 A
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
Bm                     D
The callous skin on my hands is cracking
G                 A
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
Bm              DM7
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
G               A              Bm
You make me do too much labour


Bridge
Bm
All day, every day
Bm
Therapist, mother, maid
Bm
Nymph then a virgin
Bm
Nurse than a servant
Bm
Just an appendage, live to attend him
Bm
So that he never lifts a finger
Bm
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
   G                    A 
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
Bm
It's not an act of love if you make her
G               A
You make me do too much labour


Verse 3
Bm
All day, every day
D
Therapist, mother, maid
G
Nymph then a virgin
A
Nurse than a servant
Bm
Just an appendage, live to attend him
G                 A
So that he never lifts a finger
Bm
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
   G                    A
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
Bm
It's not an act of love if you make her
G              A
You make me do too much labour


Chorus
Bm                    D
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting.          (All day, every day, therapist mother maid)
A7
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?  (Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant)
Bm              D
For somebody I thought was my saviour             (Just an appendage, live to attend him)
    A7                 A
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour         (so that he never lifts a finger)
Bm                     D
The callous skin on my hands is cracking          (Twenty-four-seven baby machine)
G                 A
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?      (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)
Bm              DM7
And the silence haunts our bed chamber            (It's not an act of love if you make her)
G               A              Bm
You make me do too much labour
