(One, two, three)
[Verse 1]
AmWhy are you hangin' on
CSo tight
FTo the rope that I'm hangin' from
GOff this island?
AmThis was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
CCarefully timed it
FSo let me go
GAnd dive into the waves below
[Pre-Chorus]
AmWho tends the orchards?
CWho fixes up the gables?
FEmotional torture
GFrom the head of your high table
AmWho fetches the water
CFrom the rocky mountain spring?
FAnd walk back down again
GTo feel your words and their sharp sting?
GAnd I'm gettin' fuckin' tired
[Chorus]
Amthe capillaries in my eyes are bursting
Cif our love died, would that be the worst thing?
Ffor somebody i thought was my savior,
Gyou sure make me Do a whole lotta labour
Amthe calloused skin on my hands is cracking
Cif our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
Fand the silence haunts our bedchamber
Gyou make me Do too much labour
[Post-Chorus]
(You make me Do too much labour)
[Verse 2]
AmApologies from my tongue
CNever yours
FBusy lapping from a flowing cup
GAnd stabbing with your fork
AmI know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
CAnd weaponise
FThe false incompetence
GIt's dominance under guise
[Pre-Chorus]
AmIf we had a daughter
CI'd watch and could not save her
FThe emotional torture
GFrom the head of your high table
AmShe'd Do what you taught her
CShe'd meet the same cruel fate
FSo now I've gotta run
GSo I can undo this mistake
GAt least I've gotta try
[Chorus]
Amthe capillaries in my eyes are bursting
Cif our love died, would that be the worst thing?
Ffor somebody i thought was my savior,
Gyou sure make me Do a whole lotta labour
Amthe calloused skin on my hands is cracking
Cif our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
Fand the silence haunts our bedchamber
Gyou make me Do too much labour
[Bridge]
Amall day, every day, therapist, mother, maid,
Cnymph then a virgin, nurse then a servent,
Fjust an appendage, live to attend him
Gso that he never lifts a finger
Am24/7 baby machine
Cso he can live out his picket-fence dreams
Fits not an "act of love" if you make her
Gyou make me Do too much labour
Amall day, every day, therapist, mother, maid,
Cnymph then a virgin, nurse then a servent,
Fjust an appendage, live to attend him
Gso that he never lifts a finger
Am24/7 baby machine
Cso he can live out his picket-fence dreams
Fits not an "act of love" if you make her
Gyou make me Do too much labour
