A         G#m              C#m
We should put this bottle down
A             G#m              C#m
Don't need a drink to pour one out (Mm)
A         G#m              C#m
Spilling secrets out your mouth
              A             G#m
You probably won't remember that
           C#m
And if you do, you'll take it back

              A   G#m      C#m
So tell me, what's on your mind?
Don't let the liquor do the talking
A      G#m          C#m
Say it once, think twice
Don't just drop me like a habit
A     G#m      C#m
Locked in your eyes
Hoping maybe in the morning
A G#m           C#m
Maybe in the morning

Chorus:
                         A
You'll tell me that I'm worth it
G#m            C#m
Beg me to stay over
                  A
Hold me like you want it
G#m                  C#m
Kiss me when you're sober
                    A
You say it's complicated
      G#m           C#m
And I said wanted closure
              A
All I really want is you
   G#m                  C#m
to kiss me when you're sober

                     A
Kiss me when you're sober
G#m                   C#m
(Kiss me when you're sober)
                           A
Baby, kiss me when you're sober
 G#m                  C#m
(Kiss me when you're sober)
(Yeah)

Baby, if I'm being honest (Yeah)
I live for when you look at me like this
I know every word's an empty promise, yeah
But it's more than just pretend
I still beg for it again

So tell me, what's on your mind?
Don't let the liquor do the talking
Say it once, think twice
Don't just drop me like a habit
Locked in your eyes
Hoping maybe in the morning
Maybe in the morning

Chorus:
You'll tell me that I'm worth it
Beg me to stay over
Hold me like you want it
Kiss me when you're sober
You say it's complicated
And I said I wanted closure
But all really want is you
to kiss me when you're sober

Kiss me when you're sober
(Kiss me when you're sober)
Baby, kiss me when you're sober
(Kiss me when you're sober)

Baby, I believe it (I believe it)
I know you don't
But I still need it (I still need it)
I don't know why
But I believe it (I believe it)
Stop and pull me closer
Yeah, baby, kiss me sober

Chorus:
Tell me that I'm worth it
Beg me to stay over
Hold me like you want it
Kiss me when you're sober
You say it's complicated
And I said I wanted closure
But all I really want is you
to kiss me when you're sober

Kiss me when you're sober
(Kiss me when you're sober)
Baby, kiss me when you're sober
(Kiss me when you're sober)
(Kiss me when you're sober)
(Kiss me when you're sober)
(Baby, kiss me when you're sober)
(Kiss me when you're sober)

Ooh
