He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up

He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
A#m C7 Fm
And he put down a key and said I won’t be needing that

And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
A#m C Fm
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
A#m C C#
And said I’ll call, I’ll call
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m Fm
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
G# D# C7
When all you give me back is pain
G# D# A#m Fm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away

Now there’s a black black black bird in my chest

All the flatter all caged in

Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head

You’re tearing every worse thing, I should have said

We’re like the strangers we were

When we first met

But the pain in strangers had the end

And all that remains is a day without plans

The loneliness and the forever lost

Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
G# D# C7
When all you give me back is pain

Haa ahh Why do we search it out
G# D# C7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
