Tea And Sympathy
Verse 1:
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:
D Bm* F#m11
'Cause it's not the way That is has to be
G D
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
Bm* Am7 Em
No, it's not the way That it has to be
Verse 3: (KEY CHANGE)
Asus2 G Dsus/F# Asus2
You begin, All your words fall to the ground and break like china cups
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
G A7sus* A7
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy

Verse 4: (same as V1)
Fare thee well, The words the bagger leaves that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
'Cause she holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
