[Verse 1]
Am                C
No milk today, my love has 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.

A                        G
How could they know just what this message means,

    D                           E       A
The end of 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.
[Chorus]
A                E         F#m            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             F#m          E
  Becomes a shrine when I think of you only

D               E
Just two up two down.
[Verse 2]
Am                C
No milk today, it wasn't always so,

    E           Am       E                 Am
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.

                     C
As music played the faster did we dance

    E               Am        E            Am
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance.

A                        G
How could they know just what this message means,

    D                           E       A
The end of 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, my love has gone away.

    E                Am      E             Am
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn.

A                E         F#m            E

A            E          D

A           E             F#m          E
  Becomes a shrine when I think of you only

D               E
Just two up two down.
[Verse 3]
Am                C
No milk today, my love has 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
