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