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

   F/C
All I can ever be to you,
G/B
Is the darkness that we knew,
    Bbmaj
And this regret
  Dm/A   Gm          Asus4  Bb7 Bm
I got accustomed to.
F/C
Once it was so right,
G/B
When we were at our high,
Bbmaj
Waiting for you
Dm/A     Gm            Asus4  Bb7
In the hotel at night,

  Bm     F/C
I knew I hadn’t met my match,
    G/B
But every moment we could snatch,
  Bbmaj
I don’t know
     Dm/A   Gm         Asus4  Bb7
Why I got so attached,
     Bm    F/C
It’s my responsibility,
G/B
You don’t owe nothing to me,
       Bbmaj
But to walk away
  Dm/A      Gm      Am7
I have no capacity.

Chorus:
       Bbmaj   Gm   Am7
     He walks away,
             Dm
     The sun goes down,
   Bbmaj  Gm
     He takes the day
     Am7            Dm
     But I’m grown,
            Bbmaj      Gm
     And in your grey,
             Am7         Dm
     In this blue shade,
        G7        Am       Bb
     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.

      Csus4  Gm
   So we are history,
        Csus4  Gm
   Your shadow covers me,
       Csus4        C7
   The sky above, a blaze.

Chorus:
     Asus4  A
     He walks away,
   Dm
     The sun goes down,
   Bbadd9 Asus4
     He takes the day
             Bbmaj
     But I’m grown,
            C7
     And in your grey,
     In this blue shade,
     My tears dry on their own.

  F/C
I wish I could say no regrets,
    G/B
And no emotional debts,
       Bbmaj
‘Cause as we kiss
    Dm/A    Gm        Asus4  Bb7 Bm
Goodbye the sun sets.
   F/C
So we are history,
G/B
The shadow covers me,
    Bbmaj
The sky above
  Dm/A       Gm          Am7
A blaze that only lovers see.

Chorus:
       Bbmaj   Gm   Am7
     He walks away,
             Dm
     The sun goes down,
   Bbmaj  Gm
     He takes the day
     Am7            Dm
     But I’m grown,
            Bbmaj      Gm
     And in your grey,
             Am7         Dm
     In this blue shade,
        G7        Am       Bb
     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,
       Bb     Gm  Am  Dm
     My tears dry.
