Introduction:
G /D /G DGAh, we're drinking and we're dancing
and the band is really happening
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high,
BmAnd my very sweet companion,
she's the Angel of Compassion
and she's rubbing half the world against her thigh.
CAnd every drinker, every dancer
lifts a happy face to thank her
and the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
Dall the women tear their blouses off
the men they dance on the polka dots
and it's partner found and it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
Git's CLOSING TIME
Yeah, the women tear their blouses off
the men they dance on the polka dots
G B7and it's partner found and it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
G Dit's CLOSING TIME
G
We're lonely, we're romantic
and the cider's laced with acid
and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
BmAnd the moon is swimming naked
and the summer night is fragrant
with a mighty expectation of relief
CSo we struggle and we stagger
down the snakes and up the ladder
to the tower where the blessed hours chime
Dand I swear it happened just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
Gbut CLOSING TIME
I swear it happned just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
G B7the Gates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
(can't say much has happned since, can't say much has happened since)
G Dbut CLOSING TIME, CLOSING TIME

I loved you for your beauty
but that doesn't make a fool of me
Bmyou were in it for your beauty too
Emand I loved you for your body
there's a voice that sounds like God to me
A A7declaring (declaring) declaring (declaring)
Ddeclaring that you're body's really you (really really really really)
I loved you when our love was blessed
I love you now there's nothing left
G B7 Embut sorrow and a sense of overtime
and I miss 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
Git's CLOSING TIME
CYeah. I miss you since the place got wrecked
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex
G B7looks like freedom but it feels like death
Em Cit's something in between, I guess
it's CLOSING TIME
Yeah, we're drinking and we're dancing
but there's nothing really happening
EmThe place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
And my very close companion
gets me fumbing gets me laughing
Emshe's a hundred but she's wearing something tight
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
G B7 Emexcept to say it isn't worth a dime
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
Cbut the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
we're busted in the blinding lights
Gof CLOSING TIME
CThe whole damn place goes crazy twice
