Verse 1:  

    E6 
All I can ever be to you,  
Bbm7/5b 
Is a darkness that we knew,  
    A7M 
And this regret,  
  G#m7   F#m9       E/G#  F#m7  F#/Bb  
I got ac-customed to.  

E6 
Once it was so right,  
     Bbm7/5b 
When we were at our high,  
A7M 
 Waiting for you,  
G#m7       F#m9        E/G#  F#m7  F#/Bb 
 In the ho-tel at night.  

Verse 2:  

         E6 
I knew I hadn't,  
Met my match,  
          Bbm7/5b 
But every moment,  
We could snatch.  
  A7M 
I don't know why,  
 G#m7  F#m9       E/G#  F#m7  F#/Bb 
I got  so attached.  

           E6 
It's my responsibility,  
              Bbm7/5b 
And you don't owe,  
Nothing to me,  
       A7M 
But to walk away;  
  G#m7       F#m9   G#m7 
I have no ca-pacity.  

			 
 			1: 
   A7M       G#m7 
He walks away,  
        C#m7 
The sun goes down,  
A7M 
He takes the day,  
    G#m7 C#m7 
But I am grown.  
       A7M 
And in your grey,  
        G#m7 C#m7 
In this blue shade,  
   F#7 
My tears dry,  
         A 
On their own.  
			 

Verse 3:  

E6 
I don't understand,  
    Bbm7/5b 
Why do I stress a man,  
     A7M 
When there’s so many,  
G#m7   F#m9          E/G#  F#m7  F#/Bb  
Better things at hand.  

           E6 
We could a never had it all,  
   Bbm7/5b 
We had to hit a wall,  
   A7M 
So this is,  
   G#m7  F#m9           E/G#  F#m7  F#/Bb  
In-evita-ble withdrawal.  

Verse 4:  

        E6 
Even if I stop wanting you,  
       Bbm7/5b 
A Pers-pective pushes through,  
     A7M          G#m7 
I'll be some next man's,  
      F#m9       E/G#  F#m7  F#/Bb  
Other woman soon.  

        E6 
I can't play myself again,  
              Bbm7/5b 
I should just be,  
My own best friend,  
    A7M                G#m7 
Not fuck myself in the head,  
    F#m9       G#m7 
With stupid men.  

			 
 			2: 
   A7M       G#m7 
He walks away,  
        C#m7 
The sun goes down,  
A7M 
He takes the day,  
    G#m7 C#m7 
But I am grown.  
       A7M 
And in your grey,  
        G#m7 C#m7 
In this blue shade,  
   F#7 
My tears dry,  
         A 
On their own.

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

And in your wake,  
In this blue shade,  
My tears dry,  
On their own.  
			 


Verse 5:  

  E6 
I wish I could say,  
No regrets,  
       Bbm7/5b 
And no emotional debts,  
     A7M            G#m7 
'Cos as we kiss good-bye,  
    F#m9     E/G#  F#m7  F#/Bb 
The sun sets.  

    E6 
So we are history,  
    Bbm7/5b 
The shadow covers me,  
    A7M         G#m7 
The sky above a blaze,  
       F#m9          G#m7 
That only the lovers see.

My blue shade,

My tears dry,

On their own.
