Without The Fanfare

A  C#m Bm  E  (2x)


[Verse 1]
A    C#m Bm          E         
I know    it's the same old 
        A     C#m Bm
song I'm singing
          C#m                  F#m
But this time these words are just 
for you
D           E                 A 
That's the only thing that's 
C#m D E
new.
A    C#m Bm          E          
I know    that I've sung about a
   A     C#m Bm
 million
          C#m                     
Borrowed lines and phrases from a 
F#m
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          
By day     I move words around 
       A     C#m Bm
like flowers.
    C#m          F#m
I deliver by the afternoon

D           E                A 
'cause the piper calls the 
C#m D E
tune.
A    C#m Bm        E           
Today      I made full use of 
     A     C#m Bm
the hours.
    C#m                  F#m
I explored the smallest avenue
D         E                   C#m
And that feeling still came 
  F#m
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   
Sometimes I've gone completely 
        A    F+
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            
Hello,     do I still have your
     A     C#m Bm
 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     
And so,    without the sweet 
          A     C#m Bm
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.
