Poems And Closing Time

 G
I've been over drinkin'
      D
Cause I've been overthinkin'
      A                            Bm
Cause I get so damn anxious at night
  G                       D
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask "how you been?"
    A                              Bm
And you just learn to say you're alright
 G                       D
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
  A                          Bm
I found it so hard to find truth
 G                       D
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
 A                         Bm
It'll always just be me and you

[Solo]

G D A Bm x2

[Verse]

       G                            D
Those bastards get richer while the poor dig ditches
    A                    Bm
to bury their dreamin in
     G                   D
and labour done cheap at 5am
       A                      Bm
is the reason they're sleeping in
    G                         D
old men build churches so the kids find worth it
  A                      Bm
something bigger than themselves
        G               D
but the uncorruptable don't exist
        A                         Bm
and you can't buy your way out of hell

[Bridge]

G        D
Closing time
A                   Bm
I'm lost again past two
G        D
Closing time
      A                       Bm
It'll always just be me and you

[Solo]

G D A Bm

[Chorus]

  G
I've been over drinkin'
      D
Cause I've been overthinkin'
      A                            Bm
Cause I get so damn anxious at night
  G                       D
Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask me "how been you?"
A                              Bm
 just learn to say you're alright
 G                       D
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
  A                     Bm
I found it so hard to find truth
 G                       D
Poems and closing time, only true friend of mine
 A                           Bm
It'll always just be me and you

[Outro]

   G                        D
So don't try to pain me and don't try to play me
     A                    Bm
as one of your sorry fools
  G                     D
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
    A                       Bm
in a world that's growin so cruel
