Closing Time chords

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

[VERSE 1]
Ah, we're [G]drinking and we're dancing
And the band is really happening
And the [Em]Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my [Bm]very sweet companion
She's the Angel of Compassion
And she's [Em]rubbing half the world against her thigh
And every [C]drinker, every dancer
Lifts a happy face to thank her
And the [G]fiddler fiddles [B7]something so sub[Em]lime

[VERSE 2]
All the [D]women tear their blouses off
The men they dance on the polka dots
And it's [C]partner found and it's partner lost
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
It's [G]closing time
Yeah, the [C]women tear their blouses off
The men they dance on the polka dots
And it's [G]partner found and it's [B7]partner lost
And it's [Em]hell to pay when the [C]fiddler stops
It's [G]closing time [D]

[VERSE 3]
We're [G]lonely, we're romantic
And the cider's laced with acid
And the [Em]Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
And the [Bm]moon is swimming naked
And the summer night is fragrant
With a [Em]mighty expectation of relief

[VERSE 4]
So we [C]struggle and we stagger
Down the snakes and up the ladder
To the [G]tower where the [B7]blessed hours [Em]chime
And I [D]swear it happened just like this:
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
The [C]Gates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
But [G]closing time
I [C]swear it happned just like this:
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
The [G]Gates of Love they [B7]budged an inch
I [Em]can't say much has [C]happened since
(can't say much has happned since, can't say much has happened since)
But [G]closing time, [D]closing time

[BRIDGE]
I [Em]loved you for your beauty
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
There's a voice that sounds like God to me
[A]Declaring (declaring) declaring ([A7]declaring)
[D]Declaring that you're body's really you (really really really really)
I [C]loved you when our love was blessed
I love you now there's nothing left
But [G]sorrow and a [B7]sense of over[Em]time

[VERSE 5]
And I [D]miss you since the place got wrecked
But I just don't care what happens next
[C]Looks like freedom but it feels like death
It's something in between, I guess
It's [G]closing time
Yeah. I [C]miss you since the place got wrecked
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex
[G]looks like freedom but it [B7]feels like death
it's [Em]something in be[C]tween, I guess
it's [G]closing time[D]

[VERSE 6]
Yeah, we're [G]drinking and we're dancing
But there's nothing really happening
The [Em]place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
And my [Bm]very close companion
Gets me fumbing gets me laughing
She's a [Em]hundred but she's wearing something tight

[VERSE 7]
And I [C]lift my glass to the Awful Truth
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
Ex[G]cept to say it [B7]isn't worth a [Em]dime
And the [D]whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
But the [C]Boss don't like these dizzy heights
We're busted in the blinding lights
Of [G]closing time
The [C]whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
But the [G]Boss don't like these [B7]dizzy heights
We're [Em]busted in the [C]blinding lights
(busted in the blinding lights)
Busted in the blinding lights
Of [G]closing time, [D]closing time

[VERSE 8]
Oh, the [G]women tear their blouses off
And the men they dance on the polka dots,
It's [D]closing time
And it's [G]partner found, and it's partner lost
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
It's [D]closing time
I [G]swear it happned just like this:
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss,
It's [D]closing time
The [G]gates of love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happned since
But [D]closing time
I [G]loved you when our love was blessed
I love you now, there's nothing left
But [D]closing time
And I [G]missed you since our place gor wrecked
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex,
It's [D]closing time
