Closing Time chords

[INTRO]
[G] [D] [G] [D]

[VERSE]
So, we're [G]drinking and we're dancing
[G]And the band is really happening
And the [Em]Johnny Walker wisdom's running high
And my [Bm]very sweet companion
[Bm]She's an angel of compassion
She's [Em]rubbing half the world against her thigh
Every [C]drinker every dancer
[C]Lifts a happy face to thank her
And the [G]fiddler fiddles [B]something so sub[Em]lime

[VERSE]
And the [D]women tear their blouses off
[D]And the men they dance on the polka-dots
And it's [C]partner found and it's partner lost
[C]And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
It's [G]closing time
And the [C]women tear their blouses off
[C]And the men they dance on the polka-dots
And it's [G]partner found and it's [B]partner lost
And it's [Em]hell to pay when the [C]fiddler stops
It's [G]closing time
[D]Closing time

[VERSE]
Well, we're [G]lonely, we're romantic
[G]Society's psyched with acid
And the [Em]Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
And the [Bm]moon is swimming naked
[Bm]And the summer night is fragrant
With a [Em]mighty expectation of relief
So we [C]struggle and we stagger
[C]Down the snakes and up the ladder
To the [G]tower where the [B]blessed hours [Em]chime

[VERSE]
And I [D]swear it happened just like this
[D]A sigh, a cry and a hungry kiss
The [C]gates of love they budged an inch
[C]I can't say much has happened since
But [G]closing time
I [C]swear it happened just like this
[C]A sigh, a cry and a hungry kiss
The [G]gates of love they [B]budged an inch
But you [Em]can't say much has [C]happened since
Since [G]closing time
[D]Closing time

[BRIDGE]
I [Em]loved you for your beauty
[Em]But that doesn't make a fool of me
[Bm]You were in it for your beauty too
And I [Em]loved you for your body
[Em]There's a voice that sounds like god to me
De[A]claring that your body's really you

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[D] [C] [G/B] [D/A]

[VERSE]
But I [C]loved you when our love was blessed
[C]And I love you now there's nothing left
But [G]sorrow and a [B]sense of over[Em]time
And I [D]missed you since the place got wrecked
[D]And I just don't care what happens next
[C]Looks like freedom but it feels like death
[C]It's something in between, I guess
It's [G]closing time
[D]Closing time

[VERSE]
Oh, we're [G]drinking and we're dancing
[G]Yet there's nothing really happening
This [Em]place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
And my [Bm]very close companion
[Bm]Gets me humping, gets me laughing
She's a [Em]hundred but she's wearing something tight
([Em]Tight, tight, tight, tight, tight, tight)
And I [C]lift my glass to the awful truth
[C]But you can't reveal to the ears of youth
Ex[G]cept to say, it [B]isn't worth a [Em]dime
And the [D]whole damn place goes crazy twice
[D]It's once for the Devil and it's once for the Christ
But the [C]boss don't like those dizzy heights
[C]We're busted in the blinding lights
It's [G]closing time
It's [D]closing time [G]

[OUTRO]
[G](Closing, drinking, Devil, dancing)
[D]Closing time [G]
[D]Closing time [G]
[D]Closing time [G]
