E6                              A#m7-5
All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew,
    Amaj7         G#m7  F#m9      E/G# A F#/A#
And this regret I got accustomed to.
E6                          A#m7
Once it was so right, when we were at our high,
Amaj7           G#m7     F#m9       E/G# A F#/A#
Waiting for you in the hotel at night.

I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
And you don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity

Chorus:
A          F#m  G#m           C#m
He walks a-way; the sun goes down.
A  F#m             G#m         C#m
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       A         F#m       G#m       C#m
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
   F#7           G#m  A
My tears dry on their own.

I don't understand, why do I stress the man?
When there's so many bigger things at hand
We could've never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stop wanting you and perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

Chorus:
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

   A/B
So we are history; your shadow covers me,
the sky above, a blaze...

G#sus4 G#         C#m7
He    walks away; the sun goes down.
A
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
       B7
And in your grey, in this blue shade,
my tears dry on their own.

I wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
'Cause as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets
So we are history, the shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze that only lovers see

Chorus:
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown (I'm grown)
And in your way, my blue shade
My tears dry on their own
Woah, he walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way, my deep shade
My tears dry on their own, woah

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, my deep shade
My tears dry
