G
Ah, we're drinking and we're dancing
Em
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high,
Bm
And my very sweet companion,
Em
and she's rubbing half the world against her thigh.
C
And every drinker, every dancer
G B7 Em
and the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
D
all the women tear their blouses off
C
and it's partner found and it's partner lost
G
it's CLOSING TIME
C
Yeah, the women tear their blouses off
G B7
and it's partner found and it's partner lost
Em C
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
G D
it's CLOSING TIME
G
We're lonely, we're romantic
Em
and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
Bm
And the moon is swimming naked
Em
with a mighty expectation of relief
C
So we struggle and we stagger
G B7 Em
to the tower where the blessed hours chime
D
and I swear it happened just like this:
C
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
G
but CLOSING TIME
C
I swear it happned just like this:
G B7
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
Em C
I can't say much has happened since
G D
but CLOSING TIME, CLOSING TIME
Em
I loved you for your beauty
Bm
you were in it for your beauty too
Em
and I loved you for your body
A A7
declaring (declaring) declaring (declaring)
D
declaring that you're body's really you (really really really really)
C
I loved you when our love was blessed
G B7 Em
but sorrow and a sense of overtime
D
and I miss you since the place got wrecked
C
looks like freedom but it feels like death
G
it's CLOSING TIME
C
Yeah. I miss you since the place got wrecked
G B7
looks like freedom but it feels like death
Em C
it's something in between, I guess
G D
it's CLOSING TIME
