...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                              G#m7b5
 All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew,
    Gmaj7         F#m7   Em9      D/F#  G  E/G#
And this regret I got ac-customed to.

D6                          G#m7b5
 Once it was so right, when we were at our high,
Gmaj7            F#m7      Em9          D/F#  G  E/G#
 Waiting for you in the ho-tel at night.

Verse 2:

         D6                             G#m7b5
I knew I hadn't met my match, but every moment we could snatch.
  Gmaj7          F#m7  Em9          D/F#  G  E/G#
I don't know why I got so attached.

          D6                          G#m7b5
It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me,
       Gmaj7        F#m7       Em9     F#m7
But to walk away; I have no ca-pacity.

Chorus 1:

Gmaj7           F#m7          Bm7
 He walks away;  the sun goes down.
Gmaj7                  F#m7      Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
    Gmaj7                 F#m7       Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
   E7           F#m7  G
My tears dry on their own.

Verse 3:

D6                       G#m7b5
 I don't understand; why do I stress a man,
     Gmaj7           F#m7   Em9             D/F#  G  E/G#
When there's so many better things at hand?

           D6                   G#m7b5
We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall,
   Gmaj7      F#m7  Em9             D/F#  G  E/G#
So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.

Verse 4:

        D6                        G#m7b5
Even if I stop wanting you, a per-spective pushes through,
     Gmaj7        F#m7        Em9        D/F#  G  E/G#
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.

        D6                               G#m7b5
I can't play myself again, I should just be my own best friend,
    Gmaj7       F#m7             Em9        F#m7
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

Chorus 2:

Gmaj7          F#m7          Bm7
 He walks away; the sun goes down.
Gmaj7                  F#m7      Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
    Gmaj7                 F#m7       Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
   E7           F#m7  G
My tears dry on their own.

Bridge 1:

   A
So we are history; your shadow covers me,
The sky above, a blaze...

Chorus 3:

Gmaj7          F#m7          Bm7
 He walks away; the sun goes down.
Gmaj7                  F#m7      Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A
And in your wake, in this blue shade, my tears dry on their own.

Verse 5:

  D6                                    G#m7b5
I wish I could say no regrets, and no e-motional debts,
     Gmaj7           F#m7    Em9      D/F#  G  E/G#
'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.

   D6                  G#m7b5
So we are history; the shadow covers me,
    Gmaj7       F#m7            Em9         F#m7
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

Chorus 4:

Gmaj7          F#m7          Bm7
 He walks away; the sun goes down.
Gmaj7                  F#m7      Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
    Gmaj7                 F#m7       Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
   E7           F#m7  G
My tears dry on their own.

Chorus 5:

Gmaj7          F#m7          Bm7
 He walks away; the sun goes down.
Gmaj7                  F#m7      Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
    Gmaj7                 F#m7       Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
   E7           F#m7  G
My tears dry on their own.

Chorus 5:

Gmaj7          F#m7          Bm7
 He walks away; the sun goes down.
Gmaj7                  F#m7      Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       Gmaj7         F#m7       Bm7
And in your wake, my deep shade,
   Gmaj7       F#m7  Bm7
My tears dry...
