Key: E
Introduction:
G
Fare thee well
F Em7
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
F Em7
Wonder why we tried for things we never could be
A7
Play our heart's lament
Em7 D C2
Like an unresearsed symphony
G
Not intend
F2 Em7 G
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
F2 Em7
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
A7
And all the victory songs
Em7 D C2
Seemed to be playing out of tune
CHORUS
D Bm7 F#m7
'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
G D
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy no...
Bm7 Am7 Em
No, it's not the way that it has to be
A
You begin
G D/F# A
All your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
G F#m7
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
B7 F#m7 E
I reach for my tea slowly drink in
CHORUS
G
Fare thee well
F Em7 G
The words the bag that fill my head
F
I could taste the bitterness
Em7
and call the waitress instead
A7
'cause she holds the answer
Em7 D C2
Smiles and asks One teaspoon or two?
CHORUS
A7 D
We can work it out
