[Verse 1]

D6 G#m7b5

All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#

And this regret I got ac-customed to.

Once it was so right, when we were at our high,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#

Waiting for you in the ho-tel at night.

[Verse 2]

I knew I hadn't met my match, but every moment we could snatch.

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#

I don't know why I got so attached.

It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 F#m7

But to walk away; I have no ca-pacity.

[Chorus 1]

G Em F#m Bm

He walks a-way; the sun goes down.

My tears dry on their own.

[Verse 3]

D6 G#m7b5

I don't understand; why do I stress a man,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#

When there's so many better things at hand?

D6 G#m7b5

We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#

So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.

[Verse 4]

D6 G#m7b5

Even if I stop wanting you, a per-spective pushes through,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#

I'll be some next man's other woman soon.

D6 G#m7b5

I can't play myself again, I should just be my own best friend,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 F#m7

Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

[Chorus 2]

G Em F#m Bm

He walks a-way; the sun goes down.

G Em F#m Bm

He takes the day, but I'm grown.

G Em F#m Bm

And in your grey, in this blue shade,

My tears dry on their own.

[Bridge 1]

G/A

So we are history; your shadow covers me, the sky above, a blaze...

[Chorus 3]

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.

[Verse 5]

D6 G#m7b5

I wish I could say no regrets, and no e-motional debts,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 D/F# G E/G#

So we are history; the shadow covers me,

Gmaj7 F#m7 Em9 F#m7

The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

My tears dry on their own.

He takes the day, but I'm grown.

My tears dry on their own.
