Verse
Em F# Bm
He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up
Em F#7 Bm
He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that
Em F# Bm
He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
Em F#7 Bm
And he put down a key and said I won’t be needing that
Bm
(Instrument)
Em F#7 Bm
And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
Em F# Bm
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
Em F# G
And said I’ll call, I’ll call
[Chorus]
D A Em Bm
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
D A F#7
When all you give me back is pain
D A Em Bm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
D A F#7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Verse II]
Em F# Bm
Now there’s a black black black bird in my chest
Em F# Bm
All the flatter all caged in
Bm
(Instrument)
Em F# Bm
Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
Em F# G
You’re tearing every worse thing, I should have said
[Chorus]
D A Em Bm
Ahhhhhhhh haa Why do I bring you love
D A F#7
When all you give me back is pain
D A Em Bm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
D A F#7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Bridge]
Em F#m
We’re like the strangers we were
D
When we first met
F#7 Bm
But the pain in strangers had the end
Em F#m D
And all that remains is a day without plans
F#7
The loneliness and the forever lost
D - A - Em - Bm
D - A - F#7 - F#
[Chorus] x2
D A Em Bm
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
D A F#7
When all you give me back is pain
D A Em Bm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
D A F#7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
