  Am              C    
  No milk today, my love is gone away. 
      E           Am       E          Am 
  The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn. 
                    C  
  No milk today, it seems a common sight, 
      E            Am     E            Am   
  But people passing by don't know the reason why. 
 
  Am                     G  
  How could they know just what this message means, 
      D                      E          A  
  The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams, 
                         G 
  How could they know, a palace there had been, 
  D                           E        A  
  behind the door where my love reigned as queen. 
 
  Am              C 
  No milk today, it wasn't always so, 
      E        Am     E              Am 
  The company was gay, we turn'd night into day. 
 
 
  A            E       D            E 
  But all that's left is a place dark and lonely 
  A        E        D   
  A terraced house in a mean street back of town 
  A       E           D          E 
  Becomes a shrine when I think of you only 
  D            E 
  Just two up two down. 
 
 
  Am              C      
  No milk today, it wasn't always so, 
      E        Am     E               Am 
  The company was gay, we turn'd night into day. 
  Am                C   
  As music played the faster did we dance 
      E            Am     E           Am   
  We felt it both at once, the start of our romance. 
 
  Am                     G  
  How could they know just what this message means, 
      D                      E          A  
  The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams, 
                         G 
  How could they know, a palace there had been, 
  D                           E        A

  Am              C
