Verse I
DmEAm
He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up
DmE7Am
He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that
DmEAm
He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
DmE7Am
And he put down a key and said I wont be needing that
Am

DmE7Am
And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
DmEAm
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
DmEF
And said Ill call, Ill call
Chorus
CGDmAm
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
CGE7
When all you give me back is pain
CGDmAm
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
CGE7
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
