...TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN... by Amy Winehouse
----------------------------.................
*from 'Back to Black (2006)*
Verse 1
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#] [A] [A/Bb]
And this regret I got ac-customed to.
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
Once it was so right, when we were at our high,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#] [A] [A/Bb]
Waiting for you in the ho-tel at night.
Verse 2
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
I knew I hadn't met my match, but every moment we could snatch.
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#] [A] [A/Bb]
I don't know why I got so attached.
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#]
But to walk away; I have no ca-pacity.
Chorus 1
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
[A] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
[F#7] ([G#]) [A9]
My tears dry on their own.
Verse 3
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
I don't understand; why do I stress a man,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#] [A] [A/Bb]
When there's so many better things at hand?
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#] [A] [A/Bb]
So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.
Verse 4
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
Even if I stop wanting you, a per-spective pushes through,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#] [A] [A/Bb]
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.
[E6] [A#m7b5]
I can't play myself again, I should just be my own best friend,
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.
Chorus 2
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
[F#7] ([G#]) [A9]
My tears dry on their own.
Bridge 1
[A9/B]
So we are history; your shadow covers me, the sky above, a blaze...
Chorus 3
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
[F#7] ([G#]) [A9]
My tears dry on their own.
Verse 5
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
I wish I could say no regrets, and no e-motional debts,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#] [A] [A/Bb]
'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.
[C#m/B] [C#m/Bb]
So we are history; the shadow covers me,
[C#m/A] [C#m/G#] [A/F#] [A/G#]
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.
Chorus 4
[A] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
[A] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
[A] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
[F#7] [G#m] [A]
My tears dry on their own.
Chorus 5
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
[C#m/A] [G#m7] [C#m7]
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
[F#7] ([G#]) [A9]
My tears dry on their own.
Chorus 6
[A] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
[A] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
[A] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
[F#7] [G#m] [A]
My tears dry on their own.
