Verse 1
A
Ah, we're drinking and we're dancing
And the band is really happening
F#m
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
C#m
And my very sweet companion
She's the angel of compassion
F#m
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
D
And every drinker, every dancer
Lifts a happy face to thank her
A
C#
F#m
The fiddler fiddles something so sublime
E
All the women tear their blouses off
And the men, they dance on the polka-dots
D
And it's partner found, it's partner lost
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
Chorus 1
A
It's closing time
(Closing time, closing time, closing...)
D
Yeah, the women tear their blouses off
And the men they dance on the polka-dots
A
C#
And it's partner found, and it's partner lost
F#m
D
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
A
E
It's closing time
Verse 2
A
Ah, we're lonely, we're romantic
And the cider's laced with acid
F#m
And the Holy Spirit's crying, where's the beef?
C#m
And the moon is swimming naked
And the summer night is fragrant
F#m
With a mighty expectation of relief
D
So we struggle and we stagger
Down the snakes and up the ladder
A
C#
F#m
To the tower where the blessed hours chime
E
And I swear it happened just like this
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
D
The gates of love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
Chorus 2
A
But closing time
(Closing time, closing time, closing time)
D
I swear it happened just like this
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
A
C#
The gates of love they budged an inch
F#m
D
I can't say much has happened since
(Can't say much has happened since,
can't say much has happened since)
A
E
But closing time, closing time
Bridge 1
F#m
I loved you for your beauty
But that doesn't make a fool of me
C#m
You were in it for your beauty too
F#m
And I loved you for your body
There's a voice that sounds like god to me
B
Declaring (declaring), declaring (declaring)
E
Declaring that your body's really you
D
And I loved you when our love was blessed
And I love you now there's nothing left
A
C#
F#m
But sorrow and a sense of overtime
E
And I missed you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens next
D
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
It's something in between, I guess
Chorus 3
A
It's closing time
(Closing time, closing time, closing time)
D
Yeah, I missed you
since our place got wrecked
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
A
C#
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
F#m
D
It's something in between I guess
A
E
It's closing time
Verse 3
A
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
But there's nothing really happening
F#m
And the place is dead as Heaven
on a saturday night
C#m
And my very close companion
Gets me fumbling, gets me laughing
F#m
She's a hundred
but she's wearing something tight
D
And I lift my glass to the awful truth
Which you can't reveal to the ears of youth
A
C#
F#m
Except to say it isn't worth a dime
E
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
D
But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
We're busted in the blinding lights
Chorus 4
A
Of closing time
(Closing time, closing time, closing time)
D
The whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
A
C#
But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
F#m
D
We're busted in the blinding lights
(Busted in the blinding light)
Busted in the blinding lights
A
E
Of closing time, closing time
Outro 1
A
Oh, the women tear their blouses off
And the men, they dance on the polka-dots
E
It's closing time
A
And it's partner found, it's partner lost
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
E
It's closing time
A
I swear it happened just like this
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
E
It's closing time
A
The gates of love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
E
But closing time
A
I loved you when our love was blessed
I love you now there's nothing left
E
But closing time
