LABOUR OF LOVE (Frente!) ------------------------ [Capo 2.] [Each chord is about one measure, or groups of chords joined by hyphens are about one measure total.] [I play Gsus9 as 300233.] [I've carefully notated the rhythm for the first verse at the end; that should be easier to follow than the chords above the lyrics.]
[intro]
- - Am I fooling you, do you fall for it all, do you just see right through - - - - Are you as cool as you believe - - - - Or are you playing hard, are you waiting just to quietly clock my card - - Are you waiting for a moment to leave - [instr.]
I don't know how I bent what you said to what I believe you meant I don't know anything at all I'm standing in the push and shove and I'm just within the rescue of the labour of your love I can't do anything but fall, fall, fall fall fall
Why do I feel like I can never find you
Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor Em Em Gsus9 n.c. Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love
One chance, one shot, that's all anybody ever got Newborn, still warm, naked in the rush hour, dancing in my gutter And if you want to find me, call me I'll be far from the cars and guitars and everybody
Why do I feel like I can never find you Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love
[flute solo, same chords as verse]
And I never knew before, but I feel like a child in a cold cold war So strong, so tough, sitting in suburbia waiting for the wind-up And I don't wanna dance, I just wanna jump from the prison of circumstance Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love
Why do I feel like I can never find you Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor Why am I thinking of you and me and the labour of love
[End with 12th-fret harmonics on D, G, B, and high E strings.]
RHYTHM:
Hopefully, this should be self-explanatory. The slashes are strums, the x's are...I don't know what they're called; you know, when you stop the strings with your right hand. The slashes with periods are staccato.
This is for the first verse; the rest of the verses are _almost_ identical.

Do you fall for it all, do you just see right through?
Are you as cool as you believe?
Are you playing hard,
Are you waiting just to quietly clock my card?
Are you waiting for a moment to leave?
I don't know how I bent, What you said, to what I believe you meant. I don't know anything at all. I'm standing in the push and shove And I'm just within the rescue of the labour of your love, I can't do anything but fall.
Chorus
Why do I feel like I can never find you? Dsus2 (?) Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor?
Why am I thinking of, you and me and the labour of love.
One chance, one shot, That's all anybody ever got. Newborn, still warm, Naked in the rush hour, dancing in my gutter. And if you want to find me, Call me I'll be far from the cars and guitars and everybody.
(Chorus)
(Recorder/Guitar fill)
And I never knew before, But I feel like a child in a cold cold war. So strong, so tough, Sitting in suburbia waiting for the wind-up.
