Verse
D#m F A#m
He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up
D#m F7 A#m
He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that
D#m F A#m
He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
D#m F7 A#m
And he put down a key and said I won’t be needing that
A#m
(Instrument)
D#m F7 A#m
And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
D#m F A#m
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
D#m F F#
And said I’ll call, I’ll call
[Chorus]
C# G# D#m A#m
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
C# G# F7
When all you give me back is pain
C# G# D#m A#m
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
C# G# F7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Verse II]
D#m F A#m
Now there’s a black black black bird in my chest
D#m F A#m
All the flatter all caged in
A#m
(Instrument)
D#m F A#m
Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
D#m F F#
You’re tearing every worse thing, I should have said
[Chorus]
C# G# D#m A#m
Ahhhhhhhh haa Why do I bring you love
C# G# F7
When all you give me back is pain
C# G# D#m A#m
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
C# G# F7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Bridge]
D#m Fm
We’re like the strangers we were
C#
When we first met
F7 A#m
But the pain in strangers had the end
D#m Fm C#
And all that remains is a day without plans
F7
The loneliness and the forever lost
C# - G# - D#m - A#m
C# - G# - F7 - F
[Chorus] x2
C# G# D#m A#m
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
C# G# F7
When all you give me back is pain
C# G# D#m A#m
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
C# G# F7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
