Em9            A/E 
   Duncan was always cautious 
C/E
   Never the one to take a stand 
Em9                  A/E 
    Convinced to the bone 
          F/E      Esus4 
That he's happier alone 
       Dsus4       D 
And to justify the part 
        Dsus4           D 
Keeps a closely guarded heart 

Em9          A/E 
   Standing amidst the subway 
C/E   
   He spies the lady of his dreams 
Em9                A/E 
   And catches her stare 
     F/E                Esus4 
Long enough to make him care 
       Dsus4                 D 
"Oh my Lord, if beauty has a name 
     Asus4            A 
Then hers must be the same..." 

B           Bm7#5 
Lights upon empty rooms 
A           Em    G 
   Home too soon, home too soon 
B           Bm7#5 
Somewhere inside he burns 
A                 Gmaj9        F#m11 
    It looks like tea for one again 
           Gmaj9        B7sus4   B7 
Looks like tea for one again, again

Em9           A/E 
  He sees her every day now
C/E
    And each day he walks her to her door
Em9           A/E            F/E             Esus4 
    But ever polite he still sleeps alone at night
   Dsus4           D 
He keeps desire at bay
 Asus4               A 
Afraid to change his ways

B           Bm7#5 
Lights upon empty rooms 
A              Em       G 
 Home too soon, home too soon 
B           Bm7#5 
Somewhere inside he burns 
A             Gmaj9       F#m11 
It looks like tea for one again 
A             Gmaj9       F#m11 
It looks like tea for one again 
           Gmaj9       B7sus4  B7 
Looks like tea for one again, again

Em9         A/E 
Grey Monday evening finds him
C/E
Making their usual stops alone
Em9                A/E 
     Where can she be?
        F/E           Esus4 
He just has to go and see
            Dsus4        D 
And there's roses in his hand
        Dsus4        D 
For his new romantic plans

Em9            A/E 
 Caught in the pouring rain
C/E
He crouches beneath her awning
Em9                       A/E 
    And there through the screen
             F/E      Esus4 
He spies his lady of esteem
    Dsus4                            D
Not alone and there's rapture on her face
   Asus4         A 
Within a man's embrace

B              Bm7#5 
Lights upon empty rooms 
A              Em       G 
Home too soon, home too soon 
B                Bm7#5 
Somewhere inside he burns 
A             Gmaj9       F#m11 
It looks like tea for one again 
B              Bm7#5 
Lights upon empty rooms 
A              Em       G 
Home too soon, home too soon 
B              Bm7#5 
Somewhere inside he burns 
A             Gmaj9         F#m11 
It looks like tea for one again 
A             Gmaj9       F#m11 
It looks like tea for one again 
A             Gmaj9       F#m11 
It looks like tea for one again 
           Gmaj9       B7sus4  B7 
Gonna be tea for one again
