We've been burning that candle down 
Am          G    F
Both ends at the same time 
C               F    C
There ain't enough money in this town 
                 G
To make it worth working so hard 
F           Bb       F
Honey nothings worth growing so cold 
            G
That you lose your heart and soul 
C                      F
So day by day we've gotta spend some time 
    G
On the labor of love 
       C                        F
It's the give and take when everything is on the line 
       G
It's the labor of love 
F       G
I want you I need you 
C       F
I know we're strong enough 
           G               C   F   G
It just takes working on the labor of love 
C              F    C
You've been living on empty arms 
Am              G    F
I've been standing on shaky ground 
C                F     C
I've been thinking 'bout who we are 
            G
And what love really means 
F              Bb    F
Girl it's gonna take all we got 
             G
But the real thing always does 
C                      F
So day by day we've gotta spend some time 
    G
On the labor of love 
       C                        F
It's the give and take when everything is on the line 
       G
It's the labor of love 
F       G
I want you I need you 
C       F
I know we're strong enough 
           G               C   F   G
It just takes working on the labor of love 
  
  
SOLO 
  
F       G
I want you I need you 
C       F
I know we're strong enough 
           G               C   F   G
It just takes working on the labor of love 
F                    C
Two people working on the labor of love 
F                       C   F   C    F C
Girl we're working on the labor of love
