[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.
 
D6                          G#m7b5
 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]
 
         D6                             G#m7b5
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.
 
          D6                          G#m7b5
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.
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,
   E7           F#m   G
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,
   E7           F#m   G
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]
 
F#sus4 F#         Bm7
 He    walks away; the sun goes down.
G
 He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A7
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#
'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.
 
   D6                  G#m7b5
So we are history; the shadow covers me,
    Gmaj7       F#m7            Em9        F#m7
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
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,
   E7           F#m   G
My tears dry on their own.
 
 
[Chorus 5]
 
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,
   E7           F#m   G
My tears dry on their own.
 
 
[Chorus 6]
 
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,
   G          Em  F#m  Bm
My tears dry...
