Chord/Tab song: Tears Dry on Their Own

by Amy Winehouse

Alternative key from the original song

Verse 1 :

[A]All I can ever be to you is a [F#m6]darkness that we know
And [Dmaj7]this regret I [C#m7]got ac[Bm7]customed to
[A]Once it was so right when [F#m6]we were at our high
[Dmaj7]Waiting for you [C#m7]in the ho[Bm7]tel at night
I knew I [A]hadn't met my match but every [F#m6]moment we could snatch
I [Dmaj7]dont know why I[C#m7] got s[Bm7]o attached
It' s my re[A]sponsibility and you dont [F#m6]owe nothing to me
But to [Dmaj7]walk away, I [C#m7]have no ca[Bm7]pacity

Chorus :

[D]He wa[Bm7]lks away,
[C#m7]the sun [F#m7]goes down
[D]He ta[Bm7]kes the day
but [C#m7]I'm g[F#m7]rown
And in [D]your w[Bm7]ay
in this [C#m7]blue sha[F#m7]de
My [Bm7]tears dry on their [D]own

Verse 2 :

[A]I dont understand, why d[F#m6]o I stress the man
When [Dmaj7]there's so many [C#m7]better [Bm7]things at hand
We could a [A]never had it all, we [F#m6]had to hit a wall
So [Dmaj7]this is i[C#m7]nevita[Bm7]ble withdrawal
Even if [A]I stop wanting you, a pers[F#m6]pective pushes through
I' ll[Dmaj7] be some next[C#m7] man' s othe[Bm7]r woman soon
I cannot [A]play myself again, I should just [F#m6]be my own best friend
Not [Dmaj7] myself in[C#m7] the head with [Bm7]stupid men

CHORUS

[D]So we are history, [D]your shadow covers me
[D]The sky above, [D]a blaze

CHORUS

I [A]wish I could sing no regrets and no e[F#m6]motional debts
'Cause [Dmaj7]as we kiss good[C#m7]bye the [Bm7]sun sets
So [A]we are history, the [F#m6]shadow covers me
The [Dmaj7]sky above a [C#m7]blaze that [Bm7]only lovers see

CHORUS x3
