          G     G/F              Em7               G
Fare thee well, Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy

G/F           Em7                         Em
Wonder why we tried for things could never be

        A7sus*  A7             Em          D      Cadd9  D/G*
Play our hearts lament like an unrehearsed symphony

Verse 2: (same as above) Not intent, To leave this castle full of empty rooms Our love the captive in the tower never rescued And all the victory songs Seemed to be playing out of tune Chorus:

  'Cause it's not the way That is has to be

                G                             D
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no

No, it's not the way That it has to be

        G                Dsus/F#               F#m11
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up

  Bsus*        B7sus*  F#m11  E     D
I reach for my tea,    slowly drink in

Chorus: (same as above except for last line) 'Cause it's not the way That is has to be Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no

                                    Am7
And it's not the way, That is has to be

Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
