[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.]
 
E5  E5  E5  E5
[intro]
E5      G5              A5                    A5    -   A5 - A5
  Am I fooling you, do you fall for it all, do you just see right through
E5            G5          D5 - D5 - D5    D5 - D5 - D5
  Are you as cool as you believe
E5           G5        D5  -   D5 - D5        A5     -    A5  -  A5
  Or are you playing hard, are you waiting just to quietly clock my card
E5        G5                   D5  -  D5   D5 - D5
  Are you waiting for a moment to leave
A5     A5  - D5
[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
 

C5                          C5
  Why do I feel like I can never find you
D5                            D5
  Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor
E5         E5         G5               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.
