[Intro]
Emaj7
Emaj7
All I can ever be to you,
G#m7
Is the darkness we once knew,
C#7 F#m7
And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to
Emaj7
Once it felt so right
G#m7
Anticipation at its height,
C#7 F#m7
Lived in and waiting in hotel room late at night
Emaj7
I knew I hadn't met my match,
G#m7
With every moment we could snatch,
C#7 F#m7
I don't know why I let myself get so attached,
Emaj7
It's my responsibility,
G#m7
And you don't owe nothing to me,
C#7 F#m7
But to cut myself off I had no capacity
[Chorus]
A
He walks away,
Am
The sun goes down,
G#m7 C#sus C#7
He takes the day but I'm grown,
F#m9 A/E
And in your grey, in this cool shade,
E Emaj7
My tears dry on their own,
Emaj7
I don't understand,
G#m7
Why do I stress a man,
C#7 F#m7
When there's so many better things than him at hand,
Emaj7
We could have never had it all,
G#m7
We had to hit a wall,
C#7 F#m7
And this is inevitable withdrawal,
Emaj7
Even if I stop wanting you,
G#m7
A perspective pushes through,
C#7 F#m7
I'll be some next man's other woman soon,
Emaj7
I cannot play myself again,
G#m7
I should just be my own best friend,
C#7 F#m7
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,
[Chorus]
A
He walks away,
Am
The sun goes down,
G#m7 C#sus C#7
He takes the day but I'm grown,
F#m9 A/E
And in your grey, in this cool shade,
E Emaj7
My tears dry on their own,
Emaj7
Wish I could say no regrets
G#m7
And no emotional debt
C#7 F#m7
And as we kiss goodbye the sun behind you sets
Emaj7
So we are history
G#m7
Your shadow covers me,
C#7 F#m7
The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see
[Chorus]
A
He walks away,
Am
The sun goes down,
G#m7 C#sus C#7
He takes the day but I'm grown,
F#m9 A/E
And in your grey, in this cool shade,
E Emaj7
My tears dry on their own,
A
He walks away,
Am
The sun goes down,
G#m7 C#sus C#7
He takes the day but I'm grown,
F#m9 A/E
Baby in your grey, in this cool shade,
E Emaj7
My tears dry on their own,
F#m9 A/E
Yeah, leave your grey to shade
E Emaj7
My tears dry on their own
F#m9 A/E
In your grey, in this cool shade,
E Emaj7
My tears dry on their own,
F#m9 A/E
In your grey, in this cool shade,
E Emaj7
My tears dry on their own,
