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 "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

       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

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

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

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