Intro:
Emaj7

 Emaj7                           
All I can ever be to you,

 G#m7                               
Is the darkness we once knew,

 C#7                               F#m7                   
And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to

Emaj7                       
Once it felt so right

 G#m7                             
Anticipation at its height,

 C#7                                    F#m7               
Lived in and waiting in hotel room late at night


 Emaj7                               
I knew I hadn't met my match,

 G#m7                                    
With every moment we could snatch,

 C#7                                   F#m7              
I don't know why I let myself get so attached,

 Emaj7                         
It's my responsibility,

 G#m7                                  
And you don't owe nothing to me,

 C#7                                  F#m7        
But to cut myself off I had no capacity


Chorus:
 A                
He walks away,

 Am                    
The sun goes down,

 G#m7                          C#sus        C#7     
He takes the day but I'm grown,    

             F#m9               A/E             
And in your grey, in this cool shade,

          E                   Emaj7       
My tears dry on their own,      


 Emaj7                     
I don't understand,

 G#m7                        
Why do I stress a man,

 C#7                                         F#m7              
When there's so many better things than him at hand,

 Emaj7                                 
We could have never had it all,

 G#m7                       
We had to hit a wall,

 C#7                    F#m7                 
And this is inevitable withdrawal,

 Emaj7                             
Even if I stop wanting you,

 G#m7                               
A perspective pushes through,

 C#7                               F#m7             
I'll be some next man's other woman soon,

 Emaj7                             
I cannot play myself again,

 G#m7                                      
I should just be my own best friend,

 C#7                                  F#m7             
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,


Chorus:
 A                
He walks away,

 Am                    
The sun goes down,

 G#m7                          C#sus        C#7     
He takes the day but I'm grown,    

             F#m9               A/E             
And in your grey, in this cool shade,

          E                   Emaj7       
My tears dry on their own,      



 Emaj7                             
Wish I could say no regrets

 G#m7                       
And no emotional debt

 C#7                                  F#m7               
And as we kiss goodbye the sun behind you sets

 Emaj7                   
So we are history

 G#m7                        
Your shadow covers me,

 C#7                               F#m7               
The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see


Chorus:
 A                
He walks away,

 Am                    
The sun goes down,

 G#m7                          C#sus        C#7     
He takes the day but I'm grown,    

             F#m9               A/E             
And in your grey, in this cool shade,

          E                   Emaj7       
My tears dry on their own,      


 A                
He walks away,

 Am                    
The sun goes down,

 G#m7                          C#sus        C#7     
He takes the day but I'm grown,    

              F#m9               A/E             
Baby in your grey, in this cool shade,

          E                   Emaj7       
My tears dry on their own,      


                  F#m9          A/E      
Yeah, leave your grey to shade

          E                   Emaj7       
My tears dry on their own       


         F#m9               A/E             
In your grey, in this cool shade,

          E                   Emaj7       
My tears dry on their own,      


         F#m9               A/E             
In your grey, in this cool shade,

          E                   Emaj7       
My tears dry on their own,
