Chords for Benjamin Tod | “Lifetime of Work” | Western AF

_ It's oddly not something that seems _ _ substantial at times
_ within a relationship.
It's not like a kiss or a hug.
It's not something that you can idealize, I guess,
but at the end of a lifetime, you can see it.
So I guess that's kind of what the song is about,
is kind of my own personal experience
_ _ _ with dealing with _ labor
being the way that I show [C#m] affection. _

[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] And [E] I'm free wherever _ I am,
[A] as long as [C#] my hands [B] carry too much [E] to hold.
[B] _ _ And [E] you keep [A] me [E] on the line,
[A] and I'll be [C#] on time till [B] my _ [E] body's cold.

[C#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] And are you prepared for the evil
that [F#] stares from [E] the folds?
_ [B] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [F#] And can you stay level, _ playing out the bevel,
[A] and finish it flush [B] with your soul? _ _
_ _ _ How the [D#m] world [C#] needs to know.
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And [A] there's a lifetime of [B] work to do. _ _ _
