Closing Time
Ton : DEnglish
Intro :G /D /G D
Ah, we're dGrinking and we're dancing
and the band is really happening
and the JEmohnny Walker wisdom running high,
And my vBmery sweet companion,
she's the Angel of Compassion
and she's rEmubbing half the world against her thigh.
And every dCrinker, every dancer
lifts a happy face to thank her
and the fGiddler fiddles soB7mething so sublimEme
all the wDomen tear their blouses off
the men they dance on the polka dots
and it's pCartner found and it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
it's cGlosing time
Yeah, the wComen tear their blouses off
the men they dance on the polka dots
and it's pGartner found and it's paB7rtner lost
and it's hEmell to pay when the fiCddler stops
it's cGlosing time D
We're lGonely, we're romantic
and the cider's laced with acid
and the HEmoly Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef ?"
And the mBmoon is swimming naked
and the summer night is fragrant
with a mEmighty expectation of relief
So we sCtruggle and we stagger
down the snakes and up the ladder
to the tGower where the blB7essed hours chiEmme
and I sDwear it happened just like this :
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
the GCates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
but cGlosing time
I sCwear it happned just like this :
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
the GGates of Love they buB7dged an inch
I cEman't say much has haCppened since
(can't say much has happned since, can't say much has happened since)
but cGlosing time, clDosing time
I lEmoved you for your beauty
but that doesn't make a fool of me
Bmyou were in it for your beauty too
and I lEmoved you for your body
there's a voice that sounds like God to me
Adeclaring (declaring) declaring (dA7eclaring)
Ddeclaring that you're body's really you (really really really really)
I lCoved you when our love was blessed
I love you now there's nothing left
but sGorrow and a seB7nse of overtimEme
and I mDiss you since the place got wrecked
but I just don't care what happens next
Clooks like freedom but it feels like death
it's something in between, I guess
it's cGlosing time
Yeah. I mCiss you since the place got wrecked
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex
Glooks like freedom but it fB7eels like death
it's sEmomething in betwCeen, I guess
it's cGlosing time D
Yeah, we're dGrinking and we're dancing
but there's nothing really happening
The pEmlace is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
And my vBmery close companion
gets me fumbing gets me laughing
she's a hEmundred but she's wearing something tight
And I lCift my glass to the Awful Truth
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
excGept to say it isB7n't worth a dimEme
And the wDhole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
but the BCoss don't like these dizzy heights
we're busted in the blinding lights
of cGlosing time
The wChole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
but the BGoss don't like these diB7zzy heights
we're bEmusted in the blCinding lights
(busted in the blinding lights)
busted in the blinding lights
of cGlosing time, clDosing time
Oh, the wGomen tear their blouses off
and the men they dance on the polka dots, it's cDlosing time
And it's pGartner found, and it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
it's cDlosing time
I sGwear it happned just like this :
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss, it's cDlosing time
The gGates of love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happned since but cDlosing time
I lGoved you when our love was blessed
I love you now, there's nothing left but cDlosing time
And I mGissed you since our place gor wrecked
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex, it's cDlosing time
