*from 'Back to Black (2006)*

[Verse 1]

           
 All I can eve

              
r be to you, i

  
s a darkness t

hat we knew,
             
And this regre

        
t I got ac-cus

       
tomed to.

           
 Once it was s

              
o right, when 

  
we were at our

 high,
             
 Waiting for y

         
ou in the ho-t

           
el at night.

 [Verse 2]
           
I knew I hadn'

              
t met my match

            
, but every mo

/
ment we could 

snatch.
             
I don't know w

         
hy I got so at

           
tached.

           
It's my respon

              
sibility, and 

            
you don't owe 

/
nothing to me,
             
But to walk aw

         
ay; I have no 

       
ca-pacity.


[Chorus 1]

  
 He walks a-wa

      
y; the sun goe

s down.
  
 He takes the 

          
day, but I'm g


rown.
         
And in your wa

          
y, in this blu

            
e shade,
           
My tears dry o

  (   
n their own.


[Verse 3]

           
 I don't under

              
stand; why do 

  
I stress a man

,
             
When there's s

        
o many better 

       
things at hand


?

           
We could a nev

              
er had it all;

    
 we had to hit

 a wall,
             
So this is in-

          
evita-ble with

#          
drawal.


[Verse 4]

           
Even if I stop

             
 wanting you, 


a per-spective

 pushes throug

h,
             
I'll be some n

          
ext man's othe

#          
r woman soon.

            
I can't play m

              
yself again, I

             
 should just b

#
e my own best 

friend,
             
Not fuck mysel

         
f in the head 

       
with stupid me

n.


[Chorus 2]

  
 He walks a-wa

      
y; the sun goe

s down.
  
 He takes the 

          
day, but I'm g


rown.
         
And in your wa

          
y, in this blu

            
e shade,
           
My tears dry o

  (   
n their own.

[Bridge 1]

          
So we are hist

              
ory; your shad

              
ow covers me, 

              
the sky above,

 
 a blaze...


[Chorus 3]

  
 He walks a-wa

      
y; the sun goe

s down.
  
 He takes the 

          
day, but I'm g


rown.
         
And in your wa

          
y, in this blu

            
e shade,
           
My tears dry o

  (   
n their own.


[Verse 5]

           
I wish I could

             
 say no regret


s, and no e-mo

tional debts,
             
'Cos as we kis

        
s good-bye the

       
 sun sets.

           
So we are hist

             
ory; the shado


w covers me,
             
The sky above 

        
a blaze that o

       
nly lovers see


.


[Chorus 4]

  
 He walks a-wa

      
y; the sun goe

s down.
  
 He takes the 

          
day, but I'm g


rown.
         
And in your wa

          
y, in this blu

            
e shade,
           
My tears dry o

  (   
n their own.


[Chorus 5]

  
 He walks a-wa

      
y; the sun goe

s down.
  
 He takes the 

          
day, but I'm g


rown.
         
And in your wa

          
y, in this blu

            
e shade,
           
My tears dry o

  (

[Chorus 6]

  
 He walks a-wa

      
y; the sun goe

s down.
  
 He takes the 

          
day, but I'm g

And in your wa

My tears dry o

  (
