Closing Time LEONARD COHEN
E B F#m A ( x2 )
E
Ah, we're drinking and we're dancing and the band is really happening
C#m
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high,
G#m
And my very sweet companion,she's the Angel of Compassion
C#m
and she's rubbing half the world against her thigh.
A
And every drinker, every dancer lifts a happy face to thank her
E G#7 C#m
and the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
Chorus 1
B
all the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on the polka dots
A
and it's partner found and it's partner lost and it's hell to
E
pay when the fiddler stops it's Closing Time
A
Yeah, the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on the polka dots
E G#7
and it's partner found and it's partner lost
C#m A
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
E B E B
it's Closing Time it's Closing Time
E
We're lonely, we're romantic and the cider's laced with acid
C#m
and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
G#m
And the moon is swimming naked and the summer night is fragrant
C#m
with a mighty expectation of relief
A
So we struggle and we stagger down the snakes and up the ladder
E G#7 C#m
to the tower where the blessed hours chime
Chorus 2
B
and I swear it happened just like this:a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
A
the Gates of Love they budged an inch I can't say much has
E
happened since it's Closing Time
A
I swear it happned just like this:a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
E G#7
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
C#m A
I can't say much has happened since
(can't say much has happened since, can't say much has happened since)
E B
but Closing Time, Closing Time
C#m
I loved you for your beauty but that doesn't make a fool of me

and I loved you for your body there's a voice that sounds like God to me
F# F#7
declaring (declaring) declaring (declaring)
B
declaring that you're body's really you (really really really really)
A
I loved you when our love was blessed I love you now there's nothing left
E G#7 C#m
but sorrow and a sense of overtime
B
and I miss you since the place got wrecked but I just don't care what happens next
A
looks like freedom but it feels like death it's something in between, I guess
E

E G#7
looks like freedom but it feels like death
C#m A E B

E
Yeah, we're drinking and we're dancing but there's nothing really happening and
C#m
The place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
G#m
And my very close companion gets me fumbling gets me laughing
C#m
she's a hundred but she's wearing something tight
A
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth which you can't reveal to the ears of youth
E G#7 C#m
except to say it isn't worth a dime
B
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
A
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights we're busted in the
E
blinding lights it's Closing Time
A
The whole damn place goes crazy twice and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
