[Verse]

It's closing time and it's getting late

E A

Can you fetch my coat cos i don't feel too great, anymore

But i want to stay, oh don't you want to stay as well?

I don't think that you do

I've got this funny feeling that you don't feel like i do

This conversations just passing you by

I know it i can see it in your eyes

You've had one too many, low and behold

You're telling the secrets that can't be told

You feel so special, it feels so bold

But then you knock me back and i fall

A G# F# E A A A G# F# E A A G# F# E

I fall to the floor!

[Chorus]

A G# F# E A A A G# F# E A A G# F# E
