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
