Amy Winehouse-Back to Black

[Intro - BPM 123 - Just bass drum - J - Capo 2 - Em]
[Dm] [Gm] [Bb] [A] (run - A - 0 E - 3 1 0]
 
[Verse 1]
[Dm] He left no time to re- [Gm] gret,
Kept his dick [Bb] wet, with his same old safe [A] bet.
[Dm] Me... and my head [Gm] high,
And my tears [Bb] dry; get on without [A] my guy.
 
[Verse 2]
[Dm] You went back to what you [Gm] knew,
So far [Bb] removed, from all that we went [A] through.
And [Dm] I... tread a troubled [Gm] track,
My odds are [Bb] stacked; I'll go back [A] to black.
(run - A - 0 E - 3 1 0]
 
[Chorus 1 - Light snare]
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to...
[N.C.] I go back to us [Dm] . 
 
[Verse 3 - Higher harmonies here]
[Dm] I love you [Gm] much,
It's not e- [Bb] nough; you love blow and I [A] love puff.
And [Dm] life is like a [Gm] pipe,
And I'm a tiny [Bb] penny rolling up the walls [A] inside.
(run - A - 0 E - 3 1 0]
 
[Chorus 2]
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to...
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to...
 
[Break]
N.C.
 
[Bridge 1]
[Dm] Black... [Bbmaj7] black,
[F] Black... [A] black.
[Dm] Black... [Bbmaj7] black,
[F] Black... [A] I go back to... [A7] I go back to...
 
[Chorus 3]
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to...
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to [Dm] black.
