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