Poems And Closing Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Well, [F]I've been over drinkin'
'Cause [C]I've been overthinkin'
'Cause [G]I get so damn anxious at n[Am]ight
Chemi[F]cals and nicotine,
[C]friends ask "How you been?"
And [G]you just learn to say you're [Am]al- right

[Chorus 1]
[F]Poems and closing time,
[C]oh, sweet love of mine
I [G]found it so hard to [Am]find truth
[F]Poems and closing time,
[C]oh, sweet love of mine
It'll [G]always just be me and [Am]you

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
And those [F]bastards get richer
While the [C]poor dig ditches
To [G]bury their dreamin' [Am]in
And la[F]bor done cheap at [C]five a.m.
Is the rea[G]son they're sleepin' [Am]in
Oh, [F]men build churches
So the [C]kids find worth in
[G]Somethin' bigger than them[Am]selves
But the [F]uncorruptible [C]don't exist
And you [G]can't buy your way outta [Am]Hell

[Chorus 2]
[F]Closin' [C]time
I'm [G]lost again past [Am]two
[F]Closin' [C]time
It'll al[G]ways just be me and [Am]you

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
And [F]I've been over drinkin'
'Cause [C]I've been overthinkin'
'Cause [G]I get so damn anxious at n[Am]ight
[F]Chemicals and nicotine,
[C]friends ask me how I've been
And [G]you just learn to say you're [Am]al- right

[Chorus 3]
[F]Poems and closing time,
[C]oh, sweet love of mine
I [G]found it so hard to [Am]find truth
[F]Poems and closing time,
[C]only true friend of mine
It'll [G]always just be me and [Am]you

[Outro 1]
So [F]don't try to pain me
and [C]don't try play me
As one [G]of your sorry [Am]fools
[F]Poems and closing time,
[C]oh, sweet love of mine
In a [G]world that's growing [Am]so cruel
