[INTRO]
Bm
(One, two, three)
[VERSE ONE]
Bm Em Why are you hangin' on
G So tight
G A To the rope that I'm hangin' from
Bm Off this island?
D Em This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
G Carefully timed it
G So let me go
A And dive into the waves below
[PRE CHORUS]
Bm D Who tends the orchards?
D G Who fixes up the gables?
G F# Emotional torture
Bm From the head of your high table
D Who fetches the water
D G From the rocky mountain spring?
G F# And walk back down again
F# G To feel your words and their sharp sting?
F# And I'm gettin' fuckin' tired
[CHORUS]
Bm D The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
G A If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
Bm D For somebody I thought was my saviour
G A You sure make me Do a whole lot of labour
Bm D The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
G A If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
Bm D And the silence haunts our bed chamber
G A Bm F# Em G You make me Do too much labour
[POST CHORUS]
F# (You make me Do too much labour)
[VERSE TWO]
Bm Em Apologies from my tongue
G Never yours
G A Busy lapping from flowing cup
A Bm And stabbing with your fork
Bm Em I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
G And weaponise
G A The false incompetence
A Bm It's dominance under guise
[PRE CHORUS]
Bm D If we had a daughter
D G I'd watch and could not save her
G F# The emotional torture
F# Bm From the head of your high table
Bm D She'd Do what you taught her
D G She'd meet the same cruel fate
G F# So now I've gotta run
F# G So I can undo this mistake
At least I've gotta try
[CHORUS]
Bm D The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
G A If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
Bm D For somebody I thought was my saviour
G A You sure make me Do a whole lot of labour
Bm D The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
G A Bm If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
Bm D And the silence haunts our bed chamber
G A You make me Do too much labour
[BRIDGE]
Bm All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid
Bm Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, then a servant
Bm Just an appendage, live to attend him
Bm So that he never lifts a finger
Bm D Twenty four seven baby machine
G A So he can live out his picket fence dreams
Bm D It's not an act of love if you make her
G A You make me Do too much labour
Bm D All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid
G A Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, then a servant
Bm D Just an appendage, live to attend him
G A So that he never lifts a finger
Bm D Twenty four seven baby machine
G A So he can live out his picket fence dreams
Bm D It's not an act of love if you make her
G A You make me Do too much labour
[CHORUS]

G A If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)
Bm D 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
