...TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN... 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
All I can ever be to you,
G#m7b5
Is a darkness that we knew,
Gmaj7
And this regret,
F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#
I got ac-customed to.
D6
Once it was so right,
G#m7b5
When we were at our high,
Gmaj7
Waiting for you,
F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#
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.
Gmaj7
I don't know why,
F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#
I got so attached.
D6
It's my responsibility,
G#m7b5
And you don't owe nothing to me,
Gmaj7
But to walk away;
F#m7 Em9 F#m7
I have no ca-pacity.
Chorus 1:
Gmaj7 F#m7
He walks away,
Bm7
The sun goes down,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
Gmaj7
And in this grey,
F#m7 Bm7
In this blue shade,
E7 F#m7 G
My tears dry on their own.
Verse 3:
D6
I don't understand,
G#m7b5
Why do I stress a man,
Gmaj7
When there’s so many,
F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#
Better things at hand.
D6
We could a never had it all,
G#m7b5
We had to hit a wall,
Gmaj7
So this is,
F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#
In-evita-ble withdrawal.
Verse 4:
D6
Even if I stop wanting you,
G#m7b5
A Per-spective pushes through,
Gmaj7 F#m7
I'll be some next man's,
Em9 D/F# G E/G#
Other woman soon.
D6
I can't play myself again,
G#m7b5
I should just be my own best friend,
Gmaj7 F#m7
Not fuck myself in the head,
Em9 F#m7
With stupid men.
Chorus 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/amy_winehouse/tears_dry_on_their_own_crd.html ]
Gmaj7 F#m7
He walks away,
Bm7
The sun goes down,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
Gmaj7
And in this grey,
F#m7 Bm7
In this blue shade,
E7 F#m7 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:
Gmaj7 F#m7
He walks away,
Bm7
The sun goes down,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
Gmaj7
He takes the day,
F#m7 Bm7
But I'm grown.
A
And in your wake,
In this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.
Verse 5:
D6
I wish I could say no regrets,
G#m7b5
And no emotional debts,
Gmaj7 F#m7
'Cos as we kiss good-bye,
Em9 D/F# G E/G#
The sun sets.
D6
So we are history,
G#m7b5
The shadow covers me,
Gmaj7 F#m7
The sky above a blaze,
Em9 F#m7
That only lovers see.
Chorus 3:
Gmaj7 F#m7
He walks away,
Bm7
The sun goes down,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
Gmaj7
And in this grey,
F#m7 Bm7
In this blue shade,
E7
My tears dry,
F#m7 G
On their own.
Chorus 4:
Gmaj7 F#m7
He walks away,
Bm7
The sun goes down,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
Gmaj7
And in this grey,
F#m7 Bm7
In this deep shade,
E7 F#m7 G
My tears dry on their own.
Chorus 5:
Gmaj7 F#m7
He walks away,
Bm7
The sun goes down,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
Gmaj7
And in your wake
F#m7 Bm7
My deep shade,
Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
My tears dry...
