Dan Wilson (Semisonic)

 

G     D    Am     C  [4x]

 

G       D     Am            C         G           D        Am    C

Closing time - open all the doors and let you out into the world.

Closing time - turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl.

Closing time - one last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer.

Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

 

CHORUS:

I know who I want to take me home.  I know who I want to take me home

I know who I want to take me home.  Take me home.

 

Closing time - time for you to go out to the places you will be from.

Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or your sisters come.

So, gather up your jackets; move it to the exits.

I hope you have found a friend.

Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

 

CHORUS:

Bb    G    D  Am    C  [4x]

Closing time - time for you to go out to the places you will be from.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

 

G     D    Am     C  [4x]

 

Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
