Lyrics and Music by Amy Winehouse, Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson

   Bb/F
All I can ever be to you,
C/E
Is the darkness that we knew,
    Ebmaj
And this regret
  Gm/D   Cm          Dsus4  Eb7 Em
I got accustomed to.
Bb/F
Once it was so right,
C/E
When we were at our high,
Ebmaj
Waiting for you
Gm/D     Cm            Dsus4  Eb7
In the hotel at night,

  Em     Bb/F
I knew I hadn’t met my match,
    C/E
But every moment we could snatch,
  Ebmaj
I don’t know
     Gm/D   Cm         Dsus4  Eb7
Why I got so attached,
     Em    Bb/F
It’s my responsibility,
C/E
You don’t owe nothing to me,
       Ebmaj
But to walk away
  Gm/D      Cm      Dm7
I have no capacity.

Chorus:
       Ebmaj   Cm   Dm7
     He walks away,
             Gm
     The sun goes down,
   Ebmaj  Cm
     He takes the day
     Dm7            Gm
     But I’m grown,
            Ebmaj      Cm
     And in your grey,
             Dm7         Gm
     In this blue shade,
        C7        Dm       Eb
     My tears dry on their own.

I don’t understand,
Why do I stress a man,
When there’s
So many better things at hand?
We could’ve never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is
Inevitable withdrawal.

Even if I stop wanting you,
And perspective pushes thru,
I’ll be some next
Man’s other woman soon.
I cannot play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself
In the head with stupid men.

Chorus:
     He walks away,
     The sun goes down,
     He takes the day
     But I’m grown,
     And in your grey,
     In this blue shade,
     My tears dry on their own.

      Fsus4  Cm
   So we are history,
        Fsus4  Cm
   Your shadow covers me,
       Fsus4        F7
   The sky above, a blaze.

Chorus:
     Dsus4  D
     He walks away,
   Gm
     The sun goes down,
   Ebadd9 Dsus4
     He takes the day
             Ebmaj
     But I’m grown,
            F7
     And in your grey,
     In this blue shade,
     My tears dry on their own.

  Bb/F
I wish I could say no regrets,
    C/E
And no emotional debts,
       Ebmaj
‘Cause as we kiss
    Gm/D    Cm        Dsus4  Eb7 Em
Goodbye the sun sets.
   Bb/F
So we are history,
C/E
The shadow covers me,
    Ebmaj
The sky above
  Gm/D       Cm          Dm7
A blaze that only lovers see.

Chorus:
       Ebmaj   Cm   Dm7
     He walks away,
             Gm
     The sun goes down,
   Ebmaj  Cm
     He takes the day
     Dm7            Gm
     But I’m grown,
            Ebmaj      Cm
     And in your grey,
             Dm7         Gm
     In this blue shade,
        C7        Dm       Eb
     My tears dry on their own.

     Woah, he walks away,
     The sun goes down,
     He takes the day
     But I’m grown,
     And in your grey,
     My deep shade,
     My tears dry on their own.

     Woah, he walks away,
     The sun goes down,
     He takes the day
     But I’m grown,
     And in your grey,
     My deep shade,
       Eb     Cm  Dm  Gm
     My tears dry.
