The previous tab of this song sounds kinda dissonant with the melody.  See if this is
better.  Those #F7's in the bridge give it a good walk-up, but I don't know if they are
better removed. Omit if you choose
He put the cFoffee in the cup and with mDmilk he filled it Cup
He added Fsugar and I never knew he Dmliked it like Cthat
He took his Fcoat from the hook and his Dmscarf and his Chat
And he Fput down the Ckey and said I wCon’t be needing Dmthat
And he Fturned and smiled as if Dmthat explained it Call
And he Fwalked down the hall and he Dmopened the Cdoor
And Dmsaid of Ccourse I’ll Dmcall
DmAhh Fhaa Why Amdo I bring you Clove
           Dm                 Am    G(A)
When all you give me back is pain
DmAhh hFaa  Why Amdo we search it Cout
           Dm                     F            G(A)
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
Now there’s a black black black bird in my chest
All a flutter all caged in
Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
You’re tearing every worse thing, I should have said
Ahhhhhhhh haa Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain
Ahh Haa  Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[Bridge]
We’re like the stDmrangers we wereAm  
When we first Cmet
                    E7#F7         Bm  
But the pain in strangers had the end
And aDmll that remains is a Amday without plansC  
            E7#F7              Bm  
The loneliness and the forever lost
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain
Ahh Haa Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain
Ahh Haa Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
