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

   Eb/Bb
All I can ever be to you,
F/A
Is the darkness that we knew,
    G#maj
And this regret
  Cm/G   Fm          Gsus4  G#7 Am
I got accustomed to.
Eb/Bb
Once it was so right,
F/A
When we were at our high,
G#maj
Waiting for you
Cm/G     Fm            Gsus4  G#7
In the hotel at night,

  Am     Eb/Bb
I knew I hadn’t met my match,
    F/A
But every moment we could snatch,
  G#maj
I don’t know
     Cm/G   Fm         Gsus4  G#7
Why I got so attached,
     Am    Eb/Bb
It’s my responsibility,
F/A
You don’t owe nothing to me,
       G#maj
But to walk away
  Cm/G      Fm      Gm7
I have no capacity.

Chorus:
       G#maj   Fm   Gm7
     He walks away,
             Cm
     The sun goes down,
   G#maj  Fm
     He takes the day
     Gm7            Cm
     But I’m grown,
            G#maj      Fm
     And in your grey,
             Gm7         Cm
     In this blue shade,
        F7        Gm       G#
     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.

      Bbsus4 Fm
   So we are history,
        Bbsus4 Fm
   Your shadow covers me,
       Bbsus4       Bb7
   The sky above, a blaze.

Chorus:
     Gsus4  G
     He walks away,
   Cm
     The sun goes down,
   G#add9 Gsus4
     He takes the day
             G#maj
     But I’m grown,
            Bb7
     And in your grey,
     In this blue shade,
     My tears dry on their own.

  Eb/Bb
I wish I could say no regrets,
    F/A
And no emotional debts,
       G#maj
‘Cause as we kiss
    Cm/G    Fm        Gsus4  G#7 Am
Goodbye the sun sets.
   Eb/Bb
So we are history,
F/A
The shadow covers me,
    G#maj
The sky above
  Cm/G       Fm          Gm7
A blaze that only lovers see.

Chorus:
       G#maj   Fm   Gm7
     He walks away,
             Cm
     The sun goes down,
   G#maj  Fm
     He takes the day
     Gm7            Cm
     But I’m grown,
            G#maj      Fm
     And in your grey,
             Gm7         Cm
     In this blue shade,
        F7        Gm       G#
     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,
       G#     Fm  Gm  Cm
     My tears dry.
