1…REHAB… by Amy Winehouse

————……………..

from 'Back To Black' (2006)

Chorus 1:

They try to make me go to rehab;
I say no, no, no,
Yes, I've been black but when I come back;
You'll know, know, know.
I ain't got the time,
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine;
He's tried to make me go to rehab,
I won't go, go, go.

Verse 1:

I'd rather be at home with Ray,
I ain't got seventy days.
'Cos there's nothing,
There's nothing you can teach me,
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway.

Bridge 1:

I didn't get a lot in class,
But I know it don't come,
In a shot glass.

Chorus 2:

They try to make me go to rehab;
I say no, no, no,
Yes, I've been black but when I come back;
You'll know, know, know.
I ain't got the time,
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine;
He's tried to make me go to rehab,
I won't go, go, go.

Verse 2:

The man said why do,
You think you here?
I said I got no idea.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, lose my baby,
So I always keep a bottle near.

Bridge 2:

He said I just think you're depressed,
Yes me, yeah baby and the rest.

Chorus 3:

They try to make me go to rehab;
I say no, no, no,
Yes, I've been black but when I come back;
You'll know, know, know.

Verse 3:

I don't ever want to drink again,
I just, ooh I just, need a friend.
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks,
And have everyone think I've gone mad.

Bridge 3:

And it's not just my pride;
It's just 'till these tears have dried.

Chorus 4:

They try to make me go to rehab;
I say no, no, no,
Yes, I've been black but when I come back;
You'll know, know, know.
I ain't got the time,
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine;
He's tried to make me go to rehab,
I won't go, go, go.

And my tears dry,
Get on without my guy.

Rolling up the walls inside.

7…TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN… by Amy Winehouse

—————————–……………..

from 'Back To Black (2006)

CAPO 2nd FRET

(Original Key: A)

NB: I'm unsure of the A chord used
in the Bridge, but it sounds close

Verse 1:

All I can ever be to you,
Is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret,
I got ac-customed [D/F#]to.[E/G#]

Once it was so right,
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you,
In the ho-tel at night.[D/F#][E/G#]

Verse 2:

I knew I hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch.
I don't know why,
I got so attached.[D/F#][E/G#]

It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away;
I have no ca-pacity.

Chorus 1:

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey,
In this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.

Verse 3:

I don't understand,
Why do I stress a man,
When there?s so many,
Better things at hand.[D/F#][E/G#]

We could a never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is,
In-evita-ble withdrawal.[D/F#][E/G#]

Verse 4:

Even if I stop wanting you,
A Per-spective pushes through,
I'll be some next man's,
Other woman soon.[D/F#][E/G#]

I can't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head,
With stupid men.

Chorus 2:

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey,
In this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.

Bridge 1:

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above, a blaze…

Chorus 3:

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
He takes the day,
But I'm grown.
And in your wake,
In this blue shade,
My tears dry on their own.

Verse 5:

I wish I could say no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
'Cos as we kiss good-bye,
The sun sets.[D/F#][E/G#]

So we are history,
The shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze,
That only lovers see.

Chorus 3:

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey,
In this blue shade,
My tears dry,
On their own.

Chorus 4:

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in this grey,
In this deep shade,
My tears dry on their own.

Chorus 5:

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in your wake
My deep shade,
My tears dry…

8…WAKE UP ALONE… by Amy Winehouse

from 'Back To Black (2006)

CAPO 4th FRET

(Original Key: E)

NB: All chords are played as Arpeggios

Intro:

F E7, Am Ab,
Cmaj7 Am, Ab,

Verse 1:

It's okay in the day;
I'm staying busy.
Tied up enough,
So I don't have to wonder where is he.
Got so sick of crying, so just lately;
When I catch myself, I do a 1-80.

Verse 2:

I stay up clean the house;
At least I'm not drinking.
Run around just so I don't have,
To think a-bout thinking.
That silent sense of content,
That everyone gets,
Just disappears soon as the sun sets.

Bridge 1:

This face in my dreams,
Seizes my guts;
He floods me with dread.
Soaked in soul,
He swims in my eyes by the bed.
Pour myself over him;
Moon spilling in,
And I wake up a-lone.

Verse 3:

If I was my heart,
I'd rather be restless.
The second I stop,
The sleep catches up,
And I'm breathless.
This ache in my chest,
As my day is done now.
The dark covers me,
And I cannot run now.

Verse 4:

My blood running cold,
I stand before him.
It's all I can do,
To as-sure him.
When he comes to me,
I drip for him tonight.
Drowning in me,
We bathe under blue light.

Bridge 2:

This face in my dreams,
Seizes my guts,
He floods me with dread.
Soaked in soul,
He swims in my eyes by the bed.
Pour myself over him,
Moon spilling in,
And I wake up alone.
And I wake up alone,
And I wake up alone,
And I wake up alone.
