The Streets - Dry Your Eyes
A Grand Don't Come Free
2004
I've tabbed two different versions. One with a capo, one without.
[Verse 1]
Chords:
A (x02220)
Dmaj9/F# (200220)
Bm7 (x24232) or (797777)
D (xx0232) or (x57775)
E (x79997)
[Intro]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
A
In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round,
I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground,
Dmaj9/F#
Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down,
World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown.
A
Please let me show you where we could only just be for us,
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust,
Dmaj9/F#
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust,
We can even have an open relationship, if you must,
A
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me,
But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me,
Dmaj9/F#
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity,
When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet.
[Chorus 1]
A
Dry your eyes mate,
Dmaj9/F#
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up,
There's plenty more fish in the sea,
A
Dry your eyes mate,
Dmaj9/F#
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts,
But you've got to walk away now it's over.
[Verse 2]
A
So then I move my hand up from down by my side,
It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes,
Dmaj9/F#
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies,
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh.
A
'Cos I can't imagine my life without you and me,
There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'
Dmaj9/F#
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely,
Please, please, I'm beggin please.
A
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested,
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
Dmaj9/F#
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures,
By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers.
Chorus 2: As Chorus 1
Bridge 1: (A cappella no chords)
And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word
'Cause everythin's just gone
I've got nothin'
Absolutely nothin'
[Verse 3]
A
Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation,
Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'
Dmaj9/F#
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in,
Look into her eyes to make her listen again.
A
I'm not gonna fuckin', just fuckin' leave it all now,
'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow,
Dmaj9/F#
And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down,
You're well out of order now, this is well out of town.
A
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist,
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight,
Dmaj9/F#
Turns around so she's now got her back to my face,
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away.
[Chorus 3]
A
Dry your eyes mate,
Dmaj9/F#
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up,
There's plenty more fish in the sea,
A
Dry your eyes mate,
Dmaj9/F#
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts,
But you've got to walk away now it's over.
[Bridge 2]
Bm7
I know in the past I've found it hard to say,
D E
Tellin' you things but not tellin' straight.
Bm7
But the more I pull on your hand and say,
D E
The more you pull away.
[Chorus 4]
A
Dry your eyes mate,
Dmaj9/F#
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up,
There's plenty more fish in the sea.
