Dry Your Eyes The Streets
The Streets - Dry Your Eyes
A Grand Don't Come Free
2004
I've tabbed two different versions. One with a capo, one without.
Version 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.
P[A]lease 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,
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been m[Dmaj9/F#]ade up,
There's plenty more fish in the sea,
[A]Dry your eyes mate,
I know you want to make her see how much this p[Dmaj9/F#]ain 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 f**kin', just f**kin' 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,
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been m[Dmaj9/F#]ade up,
There's plenty more fish in the sea,
[A]Dry your eyes mate,
I know you want to make her see how much this p[Dmaj9/F#]ain 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] Tellin' you things but not t[E]ellin' straight.
[Bm7] But the more I pull on your hand and say,
[D] The more you [E]pull away.
Chorus 4:
[A]Dry your eyes mate,
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been m[Dmaj9/F#]ade up,
There's plenty more fish in the sea.
Coda: (A cappella no chords)
Dry your eyes mate,
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts,
But you've got to walk away now.
