Lyrics:
Closing time. Open all the doors and let you out into
the world. Closing time. Turn out all of the lights on
every boy and every girl. Closing time. One last call
for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer. Closing
time. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
Closing time. Time for you to go out to the places you
will be from. Closing time. This room won't be open till
your brothers or your sisters come. So gather up your
jackets; move it to the exits. I hope you have found a
friend. Closing time. Every new beginning comes from
some other beginnings end.
Chorus:
I know who I want to take me home. (Repeated several times)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SEMISONIC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
