Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983 in Southgate, London, died 23 July 2011 in Camden, London) was an English singer and composer, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including soul, jazz, rock 'n' roll and Rhythm and Blues.
Her musical formation went through listening to such jazz legends as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan; she was later influenced by contemporary metropolitan popular music as well. She represented a union of these aesthetics: a happy fusion of '40s jazz

[Intro]
Am7D9, Gmaj7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7B7 I can't wait to get away from you, Em7G7G13 And surprisingly, you hate me too. Am7Bbm7Bm7E7 We only communi-cate when we need to fight, Am7D9 But we are best friends... right?
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7B7 You're too good at pretending you don't care, Em7G7G13 There's enough resentment in the air. Am7Bbm7Bm7E7 Now you don't want me in the flat when you're home at night, Am7D9D7 But we're best friends, right?
[Bridge 1]
Gmaj7F#m7 You're Stephanie, and I'm Paulette; B7Em7 You know what all my faces mean. Gmaj7F#m7Fm7 And it's easy to smoke it up; forget, Em7A13D7 Everything that happened in be-tween.
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7B7 Nicky’s right, when he says I can't win, Em7G7G13 So I don't wanna tell you any-thing. Am7Bm7E7 I can't even think about how you feel in-side, Am7D9D7 But we're best friends right?
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7B7 I don't like the way you say my name, Em7G7G13 You're always looking for someone to blame. Am7Bbm7Bm7E7 Now you want me to suffer, just 'cos you were born white, Am7D9D7 But we're best friends right?
[Bridge 2]
Gmaj7F#m7 You're Stephanie, and I'm Paulette; B7Em7 You know what all my faces mean. Gmaj7F#m7Fm7 And it's easy to smoke it up; forget, Em7A13D7 Everything that happened in be-tween.
[Verse 5]
Gmaj7B7 So I had love for you, when I was four, Em7G7G13 And there's no one I wanna smoke with more. Am7Bbm7Bm7E7 Some-day I'll buy the Rizla, so you get the draw.
[Coda]
Am7D9Gmaj7 'Cos we are best friends, right, right, right, right? Am7D9Gmaj7 Be-cause we are best friends, right? Am7D9Gmaj7 Be-cause we are best friends, right?
