            A              D7       A7 D A D A D
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night

     A          D7        A7          D
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
   A            D7         A7      D
Street lights share their hollow glow
       A           D7          A7       D
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
  A         D7      A D
Still one place to go
  A         D7      A D
Still one place to go

Chorus:
         E        D             E    D
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
E        D              E       D
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
E        D            E      D
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
  E
Stumblin' in the neon groves

Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget

Chorus

Well the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really want to stay here all night

All night, all night, all night
