Tears Dry On Their Own chords 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,
    E/G#
And this regret I got ac-customed to.

D6                          G#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:

         D6
I knew I hadn't met my match,
          G#m7b5
But every moment we could snatch.
  E/G#
I don't know why I got so attached.

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

Chorus 1:

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

Verse 3:

D6                       G#m7b5
 I don't understand; why do I stress a man,
     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,
   E/G#
So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.

Verse 4:

        D6
Even if I stop wanting you,
      G#m7b5
A Per-spective pushes through,
     E/G#
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.

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

Chorus 2:

Bm7
 He walks away;   the sun goes down.
Bm7
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
    Bm7
And in this grey, in this blue shade,
   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:

Bm7
 He walks away;   the sun goes down.
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,
     E/G#
'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.

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

Chorus 4:

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

Chorus 5:

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

Chorus 5:

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