Fare thee well[G]
[F]Trade in all our words for tea and [Em7]sympathy
[F]Wonder why we tried for things we never could be[Em7]Play our heart's[A7]lament
Like an unres[Em7]earsed symphony[D][C2]
Not intend[G]
To leave[F2] this castle full of empty [Em7]rooms[G]
Our love the captive[F2]the tower never rescued[Em7]
And all the victory[A7]songs
[Em7]Seemed to be playing[D] out of tune[C2]
CHORUS
[D]'Cause it's not the way [Bm7]that it has to be[F#m7]
Don't trade our love for[G] tea and sympathy no...[D]
No, it's not the way[Bm7]that it has to be[Am7][Em]
You begin[A]
All your words[G] fall to the floor and break like[D/F#]china cups[A]
And the waitress[G]grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up[F#m7]
[B7]I reach for my tea slowly[F#m7] drink in[E]
CHORUS
Fare thee well[G]
The words[F] the bag that fill my head[Em7][G]
I could taste[F] the bitterness
and call the waitress[Em7] instead
'cause she [A7]holds the answer
[Em7]Smiles and asks One teaspoon[D] or two?[C2]
CHORUS
[A7sus]We can work [A7]it out
