-first letter-A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #

	G
	Ah, we're drinking and we're dancing

and the band is really happening

	Em
	and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high,

	Bm
	And my very sweet companion,

she's the Angel of Compassion

	Em
	and she's rubbing half the world against her thigh.

	C
	And every drinker, every dancer

lifts a happy face to thank her

	G	B7	Em
and the f	iddler fiddles s	omething so sub	lime

	D
all the w	omen tear their blouses off

the men they dance on the polka dots

	C
and it's p	artner found and it's partner lost

and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops

	G
it's C	losing Time

	C
Yeah, the w	omen tear their blouses off

the men they dance on the polka dots

	G	B7
and it's p	artner found and it's p	artner lost

	Em	C
and it's	hell to pay when the f	iddler stops

	G	D
it's Cl	osing Time

	G
We're l	onely, we're romantic

and the cider's laced with acid

	Em
and the	Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"

	Bm
And the	moon is swimming naked

and the summer night is fragrant

	Em
with a	mighty expectation of relief

	C
So we s	truggle and we stagger

down the snakes and up the ladder

	G	B7	Em
to the t	ower where the bl	essed hours ch	ime

	D
and I sw	ear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss

	C
the G	ates of Love they budged an inch

I can't say much has happened since

	G
but Cl	osing Time

	C
I s	wear it happned just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss

	G	B7
the G	ates of Love they b	udged an inch

	Em	C
I c	an't say much has h	appened since

(can't say much has happened since, can't say much has happened since)

	G	D
but Cl	osing Time, Cl	osing Time

	Em
I l	oved you for your beauty

but that doesn't make a fool of me

	Bm
	you were in it for your beauty too

	Em
and I l	oved you for your body

there's a voice that sounds like God to me

	A	A7
decl	aring (declaring) decla	ring (declaring)

	D
decl	aring that you're body's really you (really really really really)

	C
	I loved you when our love was blessed

I love you now there's nothing left

	G	B7	Em
but s	orrow and a s	ense of overt	ime

	D
and I m	iss you since the place got wrecked

but I just don't care what happens next

	C
l	ooks like freedom but it feels like death

it's something in between, I guess

	G
it's Cl	osing Time

	C
Yeah. I m	iss you since the place got wrecked

by the winds of change and the weeds of sex

	G	B7
lo	oks like freedom but it f	eels like death

	Em	C
it's so	mething in betwe	en, I guess

	G	D
it's Clo	sing Time

	G
Yeah, we're dr	inking and we're dancing

but there's nothing really happening and

	Em
The p	lace is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night

	Bm
And my v	ery close companion

gets me fumbling gets me laughing

	Em
she's a	hundred but she's wearing something tight

	C
And I l	ift my glass to the Awful Truth

which you can't reveal to the ears of youth

	G	B7	Em
exc	ept to say it	isn't worth a	dime

	D
And the wh	ole damn place goes crazy twice

and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ

	C
but the B	oss don't like these dizzy heights

we're busted in the blinding lights

	G
of Cl	osing Time

	C
The wh	ole damn place goes crazy twice

and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ

	G	B7
but the B	oss don't like these d	izzy heights

	Em	C
we're b	usted in the bl	inding lights

(busted in the blinding lights)

busted in the blinding lights

	G	D
of Cl	osing Time, Cl	osing Time

	G
Oh, the w	omen tear their blouses off

	D
and the men they dance on the polka dots, it's Cl	osing Time

	G
And it's p	artner found, and it's partner lost

and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops

	D
it's C	losing Time

	G
I sw	ear it happned just like this:

	D
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss, it's Cl	osing Time

	G
The g	ates of love they budged an inch

	D
I can't say much has happened since but C	losing Time

	G
I l	oved you when our love was blessed

	D
I love you now, there's nothing left but Cl	osing Time

	G
And I m	issed you since our place gor wrecked

	D
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex, it's Cl	osing Time
