Tea and Sympathy

                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
