??????????????? 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


A7sus?????? A7????? D
We can work it out
