A Em G D (B F#m A E) x2
 
Walks like a crooked tooth
And sleeps with a dexedrine smile
Keeps finding the holes where old memory can go
And wash it down liquefied
 
F# G B C (G# A C# A) x1
 
Keep that old door swinging
Coz you can be the freeloader
 
E G (F# A) x1
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
 
? Chorus (F#m? A E B)

Whatcha gonna do, there’s nothing to see, but something’s got you down
A E G
on your knees, crawling through the dirt to see where it hurts, and
D A G D
really got you down by degrees, think I’m gonna die, from tryin’to kick

a hole in the sky.

Verse 2: (same as 1)
Yer walls are plastered with ham-fist drunks
And fagans wrapped in denim and smoke
So tell me what chance did you happen to dance
With the step that kicked yer feet in the boat
 
Prechorus 2:
Loose band on the radio
All static and clashin' a hob-nailed hint
You're never losing ground
It's just the way it sounds
 
Chorus again
 
Bridge:
?
You cover me like the sunshine kisses the day
 
D E G A
But a pulse starts in my gut now
And it's gonna make us pay
D
