Tears Dry On Their Own

*Capotraste 2nd FRET*


*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#m7/5b 
Is a darkness that we knew, 
    G7+ 
And this regret, 
  F#m7   Em9      D/F#  G  E/G# 
I got ac-customed to. 

D6 
 Once it was so right, 
     G#m7/5b 
When we were at our high, 
G7+ 
 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#m7/5b 
But every moment, 
We could snatch. 
  G7+ 
I don't know why, 
F#m7   Em9          D/F#  G  E/G# 
 I got so attached. 

          D6 
It's my responsibility, 
              G#m7/5b 
And you don't owe, 
Nothing to me, 
       G7+ 
But to walk away; 
  F#m7       Em9     F#m7 
I have no ca-pacity. 

Refrão -------------  1:
G7+           F#m7 
 He walks away, 
        Bm7 
The sun goes down, 
G7+ 
 He takes the day, 
    F#m7       Bm7 
But I'm grown. 
    G7+ 
And in this grey, 
        F#m7       Bm7 
In this blue shade, 
   E7 
My tears dry, 
   F#m7  G 
On their own. -------------------- 

Verse 3: 

D6 
 I don't understand, 
    G#m7/5b 
Why do I stress a man, 
     G7+ 
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#m7/5b 
We had to hit a wall, 
   G7+ 
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#m7/5b 
A Per-spective pushes through, 
     G7+        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#m7/5b 
I should just be, 
My own best friend, 
    G7+       F#m7 
Not fuck myself in the head, 
     Em9         F#m7 
With stupid men. 

Refrão -------------  2:
G7+           F#m7 
 He walks away, 
        Bm7 
The sun goes down, 
G7+ 
 He takes the day, 
    F#m7       Bm7 
But I'm grown. 
    G7+ 
And in this grey, 
        F#m7       Bm7 
In this blue shade, 
   E7 
My tears dry, 
   F#m7  G 
On their own. -------------------- 

Bridge 1: 

   A 
So we are history, 
Your shadow covers me, 
The sky above, 
A blaze... 

Refrão -------------  3: 
G7+          F#m7 
 He walks away, 
        Bm7 
The sun goes down, 
G7+ 
 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#m7/5b 
And no emotional debts, 
     G7+           F#m7 
'Cos as we kiss good-bye, 
    Em9       D/F#  G  E/G# 
The sun sets. 

   D6 
So we are history, 
    G#m7/5b 
The shadow covers me, 
    G7+       F#m7 
The sky above a blaze, 
          Em9         F#m7 
That only lovers see.
