...TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN... by Amy Winehouse ----------------------------................. *from 'Back To Black (2006)* *CAPO 2nd FRET* (Original Key: A) *NB: I'm unsure of the A chord used in the Bridge, but it sounds close* Verse 1: D6 All I can ever be to you, G#m7b5 Is a darkness that we knew, Gmaj7 And this regret, F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G# I got ac-customed to. D6 Once it was so right, G#m7b5 When we were at our high, Gmaj7 Waiting for you, F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G# In the ho-tel at night. Verse 2: D6 I knew I hadn't, Met my match, G#m7b5 But every moment, We could snatch. Gmaj7 I don't know why, F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G# I got so attached. D6 It's my responsibility, G#m7b5 And you don't owe, Nothing to me, Gmaj7 But to walk away; F#m7 Em9 F#m7 I have no ca-pacity. Chorus 1: Gmaj7 F#m7 He walks away, Bm7 The sun goes down, Gmaj7 He takes the day, F#m7 Bm7 But I'm grown. Gmaj7 And in this grey, F#m7 Bm7 In this blue shade, E7 My tears dry, F#m7 G On their own. Verse 3: D6 I don't understand, G#m7b5 Why do I stress a man, Gmaj7 When there?s so many, F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G# Better things at hand. D6 We could a never had it all, G#m7b5 We had to hit a wall, Gmaj7 So this is, F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G# In-evita-ble withdrawal. Verse 4: D6 Even if I stop wanting you, G#m7b5 A Per-spective pushes through, Gmaj7 F#m7 I'll be some next man's, Em9 D/F# G E/G# Other woman soon. D6 I can't play myself again, G#m7b5 I should just be, My own best friend, Gmaj7 F#m7 Not fuck myself in the head, Em9 F#m7 With stupid men. Chorus 2: Gmaj7 F#m7 He walks away, Bm7 The sun goes down, Gmaj7 He takes the day, F#m7 Bm7 But I'm grown. Gmaj7 And in this grey, F#m7 Bm7 In this blue shade, E7 My tears dry, F#m7 G On their own. Bridge 1: A So we are history, Your shadow covers me, The sky above, A blaze... Chorus 3: Gmaj7 F#m7 He walks away, Bm7 The sun goes down, Gmaj7 He takes the day, F#m7 Bm7 But I'm grown. A And in your wake, In this blue shade, My tears dry, On their own. Verse 5: D6 I wish I could say, No regrets, G#m7b5 And no emotional debts, Gmaj7 F#m7 'Cos as we kiss good-bye, Em9 D/F# G E/G# The sun sets. D6 So we are history, G#m7b5 The shadow covers me, Gmaj7 F#m7 The sky above a blaze, Em9 F#m7 That only lovers see. Chorus 3: Gmaj7 F#m7 He walks away, Bm7 The sun goes down, Gmaj7 He takes the day, F#m7 Bm7 But I'm grown. Gmaj7 And in this grey, F#m7 Bm7 In this blue shade, E7 My tears dry, F#m7 G On their own. Chorus 4: Gmaj7 F#m7 He walks away, Bm7 The sun goes down, Gmaj7 He takes the day, F#m7 Bm7 But I'm grown. Gmaj7 And in this grey, F#m7 Bm7 In this deep shade, Gmaj7 My tears dry, F#m7 Bm7 On their own. Chorus 5: Gmaj7 F#m7 He walks away, Bm7 The sun goes down, Gmaj7 He takes the day F#m7 Bm7 But I'm grown. Gmaj7 And in your wake F#m7 Bm7 My deep shade, Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7 My tears dry...
