it's something in between, I guess
G
it's closing time (closing time, closing time, closing time)
C
Yeah. I missed you since our place got wrecked
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex
G B7
and it looks like freedom but it feels like death
Em C
it's something in between, I guess
G D
it's clo-sing time
[Verse]
G
Yeah, we're drinking and we're dancing
but there's nothing really happening
Em
And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
Bm
And my very close companion
gets me fumbling gets me laughing
Em
she's a hundred but she's wearing something tight
C
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
G B7 Em
except to say it isn't worth a dime
D
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
C
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
we're busted in the blinding lights
G
of closing time (closing time, closing time, closing time)
C
The whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
G B7
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
Em C
we're busted in the blinding lights (busted in the blinding lights)
busted in the blinding lights
G D
of clo-sing time, clo-sing time
[Outro]
G
Oh, the women tear their blouses off
D
and the men they dance on the polka dots, it's clo---sing time
G
And it's partner found, and it's partner lost
D
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops, it's clo---sing time
G
And I swear it happened just like this:
D
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss, it's clo---sing time (closing time, closing time)
G
The gates of love they budged an inch
D
I can't say much has happened since but clo---sing time (closing time, closing time)
G
I loved you when our love was blessed
D
I love you now, there's nothing left but clo---sing time (closing time, closing time)
G
And I missed you since our place got wrecked
D
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex, it's clo---sing time ....
