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