[Intro]
Bb7  E7/B  Db C7
             F
What say you now?
           Am    A7     Gm        Eb/G
The door is opening on your vigil
              Bb    Bbm
And I'm in my usual way
          F/A      G           F7/A
I save my breath, knowing what you're
            Bb
Wanting me to say
        Bbm    Db7  Eb7         F    C7
I only love you        when I'm down
             F       F4  F           Am      A7
You say that midnight      opens its arms to me
        Gm       Eb/G    Bb        Bbm
Leaving you alone, and I fly so far away
          F/A            G4  G
Until the light blurs my vision
 F7/A            Bb
And I have nowhere to roam
      Bbm         F F4         F    Db
I only love you    when I'm down
Dm          A               Bb    F/A  A
And I only love you when I'm down
A/C#             Dm     Dm/C      Bb   Bdim  C
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
                  Dbdim          Dm  Dm7    Dm6/B
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know

And you   need to feel my hand

You want to be understood, yeah well I understand
           F   F7             Am           A7
I know you hold precious little hope for me

And in your happiness

I'm always drowning in my grief
