Lyrics

All I can ev er be to you Why is the dark ness we once knew (C#7)and this deep re gret I had to get ac (F#m7)cus tomed to.

We could ’ve (Emaj7)Once it felt so right, an ti ci (G#m7)pa tion that is high,

(C#7)lived and wait ing in ho tel rooms (F#m7)late at night.

I knew I (Emaj7)had n’t met my match, re grets, with ev ’ry (G#m7)mo ment we could snatch

And (C#7)I don’t know why I let my self get (F#m7)so at tached.

It’s my re (Emaj7)spon si bil i ty, and you don’t (G#m7)owe noth in’ to me.

But (C#7)to cut my self of I have no ca (F#m7)pac i ty.

He walks a way,

the sun goes down.

He takes the day, but I am (Csus)grown.

And in your (F#m9)way

in this (A)cool shade

my tears (E)dry on their own.

I don’t er un der stand.

Why do I stress a man once knew (C#7)when there’s so y big ger things to than ac (F#m7)him at hand?

We could ’ve (Emaj7)nev er had it all.

an ti We (G#m7)had to hit a wall.

(C#7)And this is ing in ev i ta (F#m7)ble with drawl.

E ven if (Emaj7)I stop want ing you, re grets, and no per (G#m7)spec tive push es through.

And (C#7)I’ll be some next I man’s the oth er (F#m7)wom an soon.

I can not (Emaj7)play my self a gain.

I should not (G#m7)be my own best friend.

Not (C#7)fuck a my self blaze in the head with (F#m7)stu pid men.

He walks a way,

the sun goes down.

He takes the day, but I am (Csus)grown.

And in your (F#m9)way

in this (A)cool shade

my tears (E)dry on their own.

Wish

He (A)walks a way,

the whole sun goes down.

He takes the day, but I am (Csus)grown.

Ba by, in your (F#m9)grey,

in this (B7)cool shade, my tears (E)dry on their own.

Yeah, (F#m7)leave your gray to (B7)shade,

my tears dry (E)on their own.

In your gray, in this (A)cool shade my tears (E)dry on their own.

Yeah (F#m7)in the gray,

in this cool (B7)shade

my tears (E)dry on their own.
