Standard (EADGBE)

What a performance tonight

Should I react or turn off the light?

 Looks like you're picking a fight

 In a blurring of wrong and right

But how your mood changes

 You're a devil, now an angel

 Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent

 As a monk

 You only tell me you love me

 When you're drunk

 It's better than nothing, I suppose

 Some doors have opened, others closed

 But I couldn't see you exposed

 To the horrors behind some of those

Somebody said, Listen,

 Don't you know what you're missing?

 You should be kissing him instead of dissing him like

punk

 But you only tell me you love

 Me when you're drunk

 You only tell me you love me

 When you're drunk

All of my friends keep asking me

"Why? Oh, why

Do you not say goodbye?

If you don't even try

You'll be sunk"

'Cause you only tell me you

Love me when you're drunk

What's the meaning

When you speak with so much feeling?

Is it over when you're sober?

Is it junk?

You only tell me you love me

When you're drunk

You only tell me you love me

When you're drunk
