Verse 1:
E6                              Bbm7b5
 All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew,
    Amaj7         Abm7   Gbm9      E     A  Gb  
And this regret I got ac-customed to.


E6                          Bbm7b5
 Once it was so right, when we were at our high,
Amaj7            Abm7      Gbm9          E     A  Gb  
 Waiting for you in the ho-tel at night.

Verse 2:
         E6                             Bbm7b5
I knew I hadn't met my match, but every moment we could snatch.
  Amaj7          Abm7  Gbm9         E     A  Gb  
I don't know why I got so attached.


          E6                          Bbm7b5
It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me,
       Amaj7        Abm7       Gbm9    Abm7
But to walk away; I have no ca-pacity.

Chorus 1:
A           Gbm  Abm           Dbm
 He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
A   Gbm             Abm           Dbm
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A         Gbm       Abm        Dbm
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
   Gb7           Abm   A
My tears dry on their own.

Verse 3:
E6                       Bbm7b5
 I don't understand; why do I stress a man,
     Amaj7           Abm7   Gbm9             E     A  Gb  
When there's so many better things at hand?


           E6                   Bbm7b5
We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall,
   Amaj7      Abm7  Gbm9            E     A  Gb  
So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.

Verse 4:
        E6                        Bbm7b5
Even if I stop wanting you, a per-spective pushes through,
     Amaj7        Abm7        Gbm9        E     A  Gb  
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.


        E6                               Bbm7b5
I can't play myself again, I should just be my own best friend,
    Amaj7       Abm7             Gbm9        Abm7
Not xxxx myself in the head with stupid men.

Chorus 2:
A           Gbm  Abm           Dbm
 He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
A   Gbm             Abm           Dbm
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A         Gbm       Abm        Dbm
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
   Gb7           Abm   A
My tears dry on their own.

Bridge 1:
   A 
So we are history; your shadow covers me, the sky above, a blaze...

Chorus 3:

Absus4 Ab         Dbm7
 He    walks away; the sun goes down.
A
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       B7
And in your grey, in this blue shade, my tears dry on their own.

Verse 5:
  E6                                    Bbm7b5
I wish I could say no regrets, and no e-motional debts,
     Amaj7           Abm7    Gbm9      E     A  Gb  
'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.

   E6                  Bbm7b5
So we are history; the shadow covers me,
    Amaj7       Abm7            Gbm9        Abm7
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

Chorus 4:
A           Gbm  Abm           Dbm
 He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
A   Gbm             Abm           Dbm
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A         Gbm       Abm        Dbm
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
   Gb7           Abm   A
My tears dry on their own.

Chorus 5:
A           Gbm  Abm           Dbm
 He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
A   Gbm             Abm           Dbm
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A         Gbm       Abm        Dbm
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
   Gb7           Abm   A
My tears dry on their own.

Chorus 6:
A           Gbm  Abm           Dbm
 He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
A   Gbm             Abm           Dbm
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A         Gbm       Abm        Dbm
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
   A          Gbm  Abm  Dbm
My tears dry...
