C
No I'm not talking from experience
Am
But I think I've found manificent
F                                      G
And in the end of the day you give me hard work
                     C
But you're good for me

And though you seem to make my body ache
It's a feeling I appreciate
Which makes it easier when you can be hard work
But you're good for me

This time, I know I won't be proved wrong
This time, to win you gotta lose some
Sometimes, I just wanna give you up right away
But then you go and brighten up my day

Chorus:
C
I know I'm not wasting my time
Am
For you to be the reason I cry
     F
And no I'm not gonna lie
        G
You're hard work
But you're good for me
C
And you're the one who's by my side
Am
When I'm going out of my mind
    F                       G
But 99% of the time you're hard work
                     C
But you're good for me

And when I'm losing all my energy
You're like my only working remedy
And when I struggle to breathe it's
'cause you're hard work
But you're good for me
And when I start to feel I've had enough
And my head is feeling kind of rough
And even thinking is tough when you're hard work
But you're good for me

And this high is a feeling that I'm fixed on
I knew it was worth it in the long run
'Cause somehow everything has fell into place
And you can tell by the smile on my face

Chorus

Hmm, hard work
Hmm, hard work
Hmm, you're hard work
But you're good for me
Hmm, hard work
Hmm, hard work
Hmm, you're hard work
But you're good for me

F    G                    Am7 G
But I'm not running away, no
Dm                               G
A little bit of light is all it takes

Chorus:
I know I'm not wasting my time
For you to be the reason I cry
And no, I'm not gonna lie, you're hard work
But you're good for me
And you're the one to be by my side
When I'm going out of my mind
But 99% of the time, you're hard work
But you're good for me

Hmm, hard work
Hmm, hard work
Hmm, you're hard work
But you're good for me
Hmm, hard work
Hmm, hard work
Hmm, you're hard work
But you're good for me

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
