"Tea and Sympathy" - by Jars of Clay
Verse 1:
Fare thee [G]well, [G/F]Trade in all our [Em7]words for tea and [G]sympathy
[G/F]Wonder why we [Em7]tried for things could never[Em] 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
Don't trade our [G]love for tea and sympathy, no[D]
Bm* Am7 Em
No, it's not the way That it has to be
Verse 3: (KEY CHANGE)
You [Asus2]begin, All your [G]words fall to the [Dsus/F#]ground and break like chi[Asus2]na cups
And the [G]waitress grabs a [Dsus/F#]broom and tries to swe[F#m11]ep 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
And it's not the way, That is has to[Am7] be
G A7sus* A7
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
musical bridge:
[D] [-] [Cadd9] [-] [Cadd9/Bb] [-] [Cadd9]  
[D] [-] [Cadd9] [-] [Cadd9/Bb]  
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
(repeat chorus 2x)
(2nd time, repeat ending to 2nd chorus)
Outro:
Don't [D]trade us for tea and sympathy
[Cadd9](echo)
Don't [Cadd9/Bb]trade us for tea and sympathy
[A7sus]We can work it[A7] out
Don't [D]trade us for tea and sympathy
[Cadd9](echo)
Don't [Cadd9/Bb]trade us for tea and sympathy
[A7sus]We can work [A7]out
[D/F#] [-] [Cadd9] [-] [Cadd9/Bb] [-]  
[A7sus]We can work [A7]out[D]
