[Am] [G] Fare thee well, treating all our words [Em] for tea [G] and sympathy
Wonder why we try for [Em] things could never be
[A] Play our hearts [Em] lament, like an [D] unrehearsed symphony
[G]
Not intend, [F] to leave this [Em] castle full of [G] empty rooms
Love the captive in the tower [Em] never rescued
And [A] all our victory [Em] songs, seem to [D] be playing out [C] of tune
It's [D]
not [Bm] the way, it has [F#m] to be
Don't [G] trade our love for tea and sympathy, [D] no
It's not [Bm] the way, it has [Am] to be
You [Em] [A] begin, all [G] your words fall to [D] the floor and break [A] like china cups
[D] [G] When a waitress grabs a broom and [F#m] tries to sweep them all
[B] Reach for my [F#m] teeth, slowly
[E] [D] It's not [Bm] the way, it has [F#m] to be

[A#] Fare [G] thee well, words the bag of leaves that fill my head

[A] Who she holds the answer, [Em] smiles and [D] asks one teaspoon [C] or two
[D] It's not the [Bm] way, it has [F#m] to be
Don't [G] trade our love for tea and sympathy, [D] no
