Chords with lyrics

----------------------------.................

*from 'Back To Black (2006)*


*CAPO 2nd FRET*

(Original Key: A augmentedA)


*NB: I'm unsure of the A augmentedA chord used
in the Bridge, but it sounds close*


Verse 1:

D6D6               G#m7b5G#m7b5
 All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew,
  E/G#
And this regret I got ac-customed to.

D6D6             G#m7b5G#m7b5
 Once it was so right, when we were at our high,
E/G#
 Waiting for you in the ho-tel at night.

Verse 2:

     D6D6
I knew I hadn't met my match,
     G#m7b5G#m7b5
But every moment we could snatch.
 E/G#
I don't know why I got so attached.

     D6D6
It's my responsibility,
       G#m7b5G#m7b5
And you don't owe nothing to me,
    F#m7F#m7
But to walk away; I have no ca-pacity.

Chorus 1:

Bm7Bm7
 He walks away;  the sun goes down.
Bm7Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
  Bm7Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
  G+G
My tears dry on their own.

Verse 3:

D6D6            G#m7b5G#m7b5
 I don't understand; why do I stress a man,
   E/G#
When there's so many better things at hand?

      D6D6          G#m7b5G#m7b5
We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall,
  E/G#
So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.

Verse 4:

    D6D6
Even if I stop wanting you,
   G#m7b5G#m7b5
A augmentedA Per-spective pushes through,
   E/G#
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.

    D6D6
I can't play myself again,
       G#m7b5G#m7b5
I should just be my own best friend,
  F#m7F#m7
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

Chorus 2:

Bm7Bm7
 He walks away;  the sun goes down.
Bm7Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
  Bm7Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
  G+G
My tears dry on their own.

Bridge 1:

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

Chorus 3:

Bm7Bm7
 He walks away;  the sun goes down.
Bm7Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
    A augmentedA
And in your wake, in this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.

Verse 5:

 D6D6                  G#m7b5G#m7b5
I wish I could say no regrets, and no e-motional debts,
   E/G#
'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.

  D6D6         G#m7b5G#m7b5
So we are history; the shadow covers me,
  F#m7F#m7
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

Chorus 4:

Bm7Bm7
 He walks away;  the sun goes down.
Bm7Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
  Bm7Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
  G+G
My tears dry on their own.

Chorus 5:

Bm7Bm7
 He walks away;  the sun goes down.
Bm7Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
  Bm7Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
  G+G
My tears dry on their own.

Chorus 5:

Bm7Bm7
 He walks away;  the sun goes down.
Bm7Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
    Bm7Bm7
And in your wake, my deep shade,
  Bm7Bm7
My tears dry...
