Intro: C Am F G 

C                                 Am 
 No I'm not talking from experience 
                                F 
But I think I've found manificent 
                                     G 
And in the end of the day you give me hard work 
(G)                  C 
But you're good for me 
                                    Am 
I know you seem to make my body ache 
                          F 
It's a feeling I appreciate  
                                      G 
Which makes it easier when you give me hard work 
(G)                 C 
But you're good for me 

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

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 

(C)                               
And when I'm losing all my energy 
Am 
You're like my only working remedy 
F              
And when I struggle to breathe  
               G 
It's cause you're hard work 
                 C 
But you're good for me 

C 
And when I start to feel I've had enough 
Am                                 F 
And my head is feeling kind of wrong 
F 
And then I'm thinking it's tough 
         G 
When you're hard work 
                    C 
But you're good for me 
C 
This high is a feeling that I'm fixed on 
Am 
I know it was worth it in the long run 
F                                         G 
Cause somehow everything just fell into place 
G 
And you can tell by the smile on my face 

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 
But you're good for me

A little bit of light is all it takes 

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'd be by my side 
Am 
When I'm going out of my mind

But 99% of the time you're hard work 
But you're good for me
