Lirik dan Chord Lagu Closing Time - Leonard Cohen

[Verse]

                    G
And we're lonely, we're romantic

and the cider 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 struggle and we stagger

down the snakes and up the ladder
         G                           B7                  Em
to the tower where the blessed hours chime
            D
and I swear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
          C
the Gates of Love they budged an inch

I can't say much has happened since
         G
but closing time (closing time, closing time, closing time)
  C
I swear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
     G                          B7
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
   Em                            C
I can't say much has happened since

(can't say much has happened since, can't say much has happened since)
     G                       D
but clo-sing time, clo-sing time

[Bridge]

      Em
And I loved 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 loved you for your body

there's a voice that sounds like God to me
A                                                 A7
declaring (declaring) declaring (declaring)
D
declaring that you're body's really you (really really really really you)
              C
And I loved you when our love was blessed

And I love you now there's nothing left
       G                   B7                  Em
but sorrow and a sense of overtime
              D
and I missed you since the place got wrecked

and I just don't care what happens next
C
looks like freedom but it feels like death
