[Verse 1] Am Dm7 Why are you hanging on? F So tight G To the road that I'm headed from Am Off this island Dsus4 This was an escape plan
Em
(This was an escape plan) F Carefully timed it G So that we'd go N.C. And dive into the waves below [Pre-Chorus] Am C Who tends the orchards? F Who fixes up the gables? E7 Emotional torture Am From the head of your high table C Who fetches the water? F From the rocky mountain spring E7 And walk back down again? F To feel your words and their sharp sting F And I'm getting f*cking tired [Chorus] Am C The capillaries in my eyes are bursting G7 If our love died, would that be
the worst thing? Am C For somebody I thought was my saviour G7 G You sure make me do a whole lot of labour Am C The callous skin on my hands is cracking F G If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? Am CM7 And the silence haunts our bed chamber F G Am You make me do too much labour Am Dm F G (you make me do too much labour)
[Verse 2] Am Dm Apologies for my tone F And never yours Gsus4 Busy lapping from a flowing cup Am And stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man
Dm
(I know you're a smart man) F G And weaponise the false incompetence Am It's dominance under a guise [Pre-Chorus] Am If we had a daughter F I'd watch and could not save her E7 The emotional torture Am From the head of your high table C She'd do what you taught her F She'd meet the same cruel fate E7 So now I've gotta run F So I can undo this mistake F At least I've gotta try [Chorus] Am C The capillaries in my eyes are bursting G7 If our love died, would that be
the worst thing? Am C For somebody I thought was my saviour G7 G You sure make me do a whole lot of labour Am C The callous skin on my hands is cracking F G If our love ends, would that be
a bad thing? Am CM7 And the silence haunts our bed chamber F G Am You make me do too much labour [Bridge] Am All day, every day Am Therapist, mother, maid Am Nymph then a virgin Am Nurse than a servant Am Just an appendage, live to attend him Am So that he never lifts a finger Am Twenty-four-seven baby machine F G So he can live out his picket fence dreams Am It's not an act of love if you make her F G You make me do too much labour [Verse 3] Am All day, every day C Therapist, mother, maid F Nymph then a virgin G Nurse than a servant Am Just an appendage, live to attend him F G So that he never lifts a finger Am Twenty-four-seven baby machine F G So he can live out his picket
fence dreams Am It's not an act of love if you make her F G You make me do too much labour [Chorus] Am C The capillaries in my eyes are bursting.
