[Verse I]
Dm E Am
He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up
Dm E7 Am
He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that
Dm E Am
He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
Dm E7 Am
And he put down a key and said I won’t be needing that
Am
(Instrument)
Dm E7 Am
And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
Dm E Am
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
Dm E F
And said I’ll call, I’ll call
[Chorus]
C G Dm Am
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
C G E7
When all you give me back is pain
C G Dm Am
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
C G E7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away

[Verse II]
Dm E Am
Now there’s a black black black bird in my chest
Dm E Am
All the flatter all caged in
Am
(Instrument)
Dm E Am
Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
Dm E F
You’re tearing every worse thing, I should have said
[Chorus]
C G Dm Am
Ahhhhhhhh haa Why do I bring you love
C G E7
When all you give me back is pain
C G Dm Am
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
C G E7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Bridge]
Dm Em
We’re like the strangers we were
C
When we first met
E7 Am
But the pain in strangers had the end
Dm Em C
And all that remains is a day without plans
E7
The loneliness and the forever lost
C - G - Dm - Am
C - G - E7 - E
[Chorus] x2
C G Dm Am
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
C G E7
When all you give me back is pain
C G Dm Am
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
C G E7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
