Verse
Cm D Gm
He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up
Cm D7 Gm
He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that
Cm D Gm
He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
Cm D7 Gm
And he put down a key and said I won’t be needing that
Gm
(Instrument)
Cm D7 Gm
And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
Cm D Gm
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
Cm D D#
And said I’ll call, I’ll call
[Chorus]
A# F Cm Gm
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
A# F D7
When all you give me back is pain
A# F Cm Gm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
A# F D7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Verse II]
Cm D Gm
Now there’s a black black black bird in my chest
Cm D Gm
All the flatter all caged in
Gm
(Instrument)
Cm D Gm
Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
Cm D D#
You’re tearing every worse thing, I should have said
[Chorus]
A# F Cm Gm
Ahhhhhhhh haa Why do I bring you love
A# F D7
When all you give me back is pain
A# F Cm Gm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
A# F D7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Bridge]
Cm Dm
We’re like the strangers we were
A#
When we first met
D7 Gm
But the pain in strangers had the end
Cm Dm A#
And all that remains is a day without plans
D7
The loneliness and the forever lost
A# - F - Cm - Gm
A# - F - D7 - D
[Chorus] x2
A# F Cm Gm
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
A# F D7
When all you give me back is pain
A# F Cm Gm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
A# F D7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
