Intro:
A          A#dim7     C    Cm    B7


Verse:
              E       Esus4
What say you now?
     E       G#m      G#7(b9) G#7
The door is       opening
    F#m7              D/F#
On your vigil
              A     Am6
And I'm on my usual way
     E/G#           F#7sus4 F#7
I'll save my breath, knowing
     E7/G#                 A
What you're wanting me to say
        Am      C#dim7 D9          E         B7
I only love you          when I'm down


Verse 2:
              E        E7sus4
You say that midnight
E7        G#m     G#7
Opens its arms to me
        F#m       D/F#
Leaving you alone
            A     Am6
And then I fly so far away
           E/G#         F#7sus4 F#7
Until the light blurs my vision
  E7/G#                A
And I have nowhere to roam
        Am      E/B B7sus4/F#           E         C
I only love you               when I'm down


Chorus:
C#m         G#7+         A         E/G#
And I only love you when I'm down
G#7          C#m    E/B         A   A#dim7
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
B7               Cdim7
But one thing for you to keep in
  C#m         E/B          F#7/A#      F#7

       C#m  C#mmaj7  C#m7     E
And you, you need to feel my hand
                F#            Am6
You want me to understand
                B7+         B7
Yeah, well I understand

Precious little hope for me
             F#m7        Am6/C
And in your happiness
                 A      C
I'll always be drowning in my grief


Chorus 3:

And I only love you when I'm down
G#7          C#m    E/B         A   A#dim7
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
B7               Cdim7
But one thing for you to keep in
