Without The Fanfare

	  		
Intro: A  C#m Bm  E  (2x)                 


verse 1 
A    C#m Bm          E                 A     C#m Bm             
I know    it's the same old song I'm singing 
          C#m                  F#m 
But this time these words are just for you 
D           E                 A C#m D E 
That's the only thing that's new. 
A    C#m Bm          E             A     C#m Bm             
I know    that I've sung about a million 
          C#m                     F#m 
Borrowed lines and phrases from a few. 
D           E               C#m F#m 
This one's still as good as new. 
D            E              A   E7 
Without the fanfare I love you. 


verse 2 
A    C#m Bm         E                 A     C#m Bm             
By day     I move words around like flowers. 
    C#m          F#m 
I deliver by the afternoon 
D           E                A C#m D E 
'cause the piper calls the tune. 
A    C#m Bm        E                A     C#m Bm             
Today      I made full use of the hours. 
    C#m                  F#m 
I explored the smallest avenue 
D         E                   C#m  F#m 
And that feeling still came through. 
D            E              A   E7 
Without the fanfare I love you. 


Bridge 
F#m               F#mmaj7 
Sure I've lost my way sometimes 
F#m7             B7 
But I've had to pay. 
      D                  E           A    F+ 
Sometimes I've gone completely overboard. 
F#m             F#mmaj7 
Moved a million phrases round,  
F#m7                B7 
tried to make them leave the ground, 
D                         E 
Still the only line that soared 
C#m                    F#m 
Bidding all the rest, "adieu", 
D         E               C#m F#m 
Sounding still as good as new, 
D            E              A   E7 
Without the fanfare I love you. 


verse 3 
A    C#m Bm       E                 A     C#m Bm             
Hello,     do I still have your attention? 
     C#m             F#m 
I forgot to mention thanks again  
D         E               A C#m D E 
from the captain and the crew. 
A    C#m Bm              E               A     C#m Bm             
And so,    without the sweet perfume or roses 
         C#m                  F#m 
I hope you can still believe it's true 
D            E            C#m F#m 
Stripped of all that much ado-- 
D            E             F#m7 
Without the fanfare I love you. 
D            E              A    
Without the fanfare I love you.
