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
