                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
