Introduction: A C#m Bm E
A C#m Bm E A C#m Bm
I know it's the same old song I'm singing
C#m F#m
But this time these words are just for you
D E A C#m DE
That's the only thing that's new.
A C#m Bm E A C#m Bm
I know that I've sung about a million
C#m F#m
Borrowed lines and phrases from a few.
D E C#m F#m
This one's still as good as new.
D E A E7
Without the fanfare I love you.
verse 2
A C#m Bm E A C#m Bm
By day I move words around like flowers.
C#m F#m
I deliver by the afternoon
D E A C#m DE
'cause the piper calls the tune.
A C#m Bm E A C#m Bm
Today I made full use of the hours.
C#m F#m
I explored the smallest avenue
D E C#m F#m
And that feeling still came through.
D E A E7
Without the fanfare I love you.
Bridge
F#m F#m7M
Sure I've lost my way sometimes
F#m7 B7
But I've had to pay.
D E A F+
Sometimes I've gone completely overboard.
F#m F#m7M
Moved a million phrases round,
F#m7 B7
tried to make them leave the ground,
D E
Still the only line that soared
C#m F#m
Bidding all the rest, "adieu",
D E C#m F#m
Sounding still as good as new,
D E A E7
Without the fanfare I love you.
verse 3
A C#m Bm E A C#m Bm
Hello, do I still have your attention?
C#m F#m
I forgot to mention thanks again
D E A C#m DE
from the captain and the crew.
A C#m Bm E A C#m Bm
And so, without the sweet perfume or roses
C#m F#m
I hope you can still believe it's true
D E C#m F#m
Stripped of all that much ado--
D E F#m7
Without the fanfare I love you.
D E A
Without the fanfare I love you.
