...TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN... by Amy Winehouse
----------------------------.................
*from 'Back To Black (2006)*
*CAPO 2nd FRET*
(Original Key: )
*NB: I'm unsure of the A chord used
in the Bridge, but it sounds close*
Verse 1:
G#m7b5
All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I got ac-customed to.
G#m7b5
Once it was so right, when we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the ho-tel at night.
Verse 2:
I knew I hadn't met my match,
G#m7b5
But every moment we could snatch.
I don't know why I got so attached.
It's my responsibility,
G#m7b5
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away; I have no ca-pacity.
Chorus 1:
He walks away; the sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.
Verse 3:
G#m7b5
I don't understand; why do I stress a man,
When there's so many better things at hand?
G#m7b5
We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall,
So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.
Verse 4:
Even if I stop wanting you,
G#m7b5
A Per-spective pushes through,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.
I can't play myself again,
G#m7b5
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.
Chorus 2:
He walks away; the sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.
Bridge 1:
So we are history; your shadow covers me,
The sky above, a blaze...
Chorus 3:
He walks away; the sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in your wake, in this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.
Verse 5:
G#m7b5
I wish I could say no regrets, and no e-motional debts,
'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.
G#m7b5
So we are history; the shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.
Chorus 4:
He walks away; the sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.
Chorus 5:
He walks away; the sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.
Chorus 5:
He walks away; the sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in your wake, my deep shade,
My tears dry...
