A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m A Bbº
And this regret I got accustomed to
E/B
Once it was so right
Bbº
When we were at our high,
A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m A Bbº
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
E/B
I knew I hadn´t met my match
Bbº
But every moment we could snatch
A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m A Bbº
I don't know why I got so attached
E/B
It's my responsibility,
Bbº
And You don't owe nothing to me
A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m7
But to walk away I have no capacity
A7M F#m7
He walks away
G#m7 C#m7
The sun goes down,
A7M F#m7 G#m7 C#m7
He takes the day but I'm grown
A7M F#m7
And in your way
G#m7 C#m7
In this blue shade
F#7 G#m A7M
My tears dry on their own.
E/B
I don't understand
Bbº
Why do I stress a man,
A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m A Bbº
When there's so many bigger things at hand
E/B
We could’ve never had it all
Bbº
We had to hit a wall
A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m A Bbº
So this is inevitable with drawl
E/B
Even if I stopped wanting you,
Bbº
A perspective pushes through
A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m A Bbº
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
E/B
Ah can I play myself again?
Bbº
Or should I just be my own best friend?
A7M G#m7 F#m7 G#m7
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men
A7M F#m7
He walks away
G#m7 C#m7
The sun goes down,
A7M F#m7 G#m7 C#m7
He takes the day but I'm grown
A7M F#m7
And in your way

In this blue shade

My tears dry on their own.

The skies above a blaze

I wish I could say no regrets
