[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. 
(All day, every day, therapist mother maid)         
G7
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
(Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant)  
Am              C
For somebody I thought was my saviour 
(Just an appendage, live to attend him)            
    G7                 G
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
(so that he never lifts a finger)         
Am                     C
The callous skin on my hands is cracking 
(Twenty-four-seven baby machine)         
F                 G
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
 (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)    
Am              CM7
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
(It's not an act of love if you make her)            
F               G              Am
You make me do too much labour
