Love Is A Chore (Version 5 Country Metal)

(Long Musical Intro) (Verse 1) You left your coffee mug On the kitchen counter once again I count the numerous cracks Like they really mean something The room stays completely warm But the initial mood feels worn thin We keep the door closed and locked So we won’t slip-up and walk through it again (Pre-Chorus) We talk like we have plans Let’s bring it up from the floor But every yes that comes from me Feels like a burdensome chore I hold you to your spoken words Pony up a pocket full of various change The response slips completely out That you shouldn’t be able to stay (Chorus) Love is a chore Life has become a complete bore We drag it from the depths to home And don’t ask for much of anything anymore Love is a chore There is no passion here to be adorned There is just no spark left glowing now We’re just keeping score……keeping score (Verse 2) Your jacket hangs in the corner On the the broken leather seated chair Mine’s lying on our king sized bed Like it doesn’t matter or you don’t care We share a wide open space But it’s not a cheerful place anymore Four tired hands looking for some control Pawing at the same old creaking door (Pre-Chorus) We talk like we have plans Let’s bring it up from the floor But every yes that comes from me Feels like a burdensome chore I hold you to your spoken words Pony up a pocket full of various change The response slips completely out That you shouldn’t be able to stay (Chorus) Love is a chore Life has become a complete bore We drag it from the depths to home And don’t ask for much of anything anymore Love is a chore There is no passion here to be adorned There is just no spark left glowing now We’re just keeping score……keeping score (Verse 3) If I said “please leave and let yourself out” Would you even be the least bit swayed ? Or would we both give up and collapse And just call it quits and fold this thing away? No grand goodbyes would need to be spoken There would be no shattered glass Just two slow steps from permanent extinction And then we will be a part of each others past (Pre-Chorus) We talk like we have plans Let’s bring it up from the floor But every yes that comes from me Feels like a burdensome chore I hold you to your spoken words Pony up a pocket full of various change The response slips completely out That you shouldn’t be able to stay (Long Musical Solos) (Chorus) Love is a chore Life has become a complete bore We drag it from the depths to home And don’t ask for much of anything anymore Love is a chore There is no passion here to be adorned There is just no spark left glowing now We’re just keeping score……keeping score (Outro) We say “one more day” Like that’s gonna be a cure But every touch felt Feels less and less sure I know your face I know the blame We say “it’s gonna be fine” But it tastes bitter just the same Love is a chore oh yeah Love is a chore
