This old | [F] smoke filled bar is | something I'm not | [Bb] used to | [Bb]  
But I gave | [F] up my home to | see you satis- | [C] fied | [C]  
And I just | [F] called to let you | know where I'll be | [Bb] living | [Bb]  
It's not | [F] much but I feel | [C] welcome here in- | [F] side | [F]  

And I've got | [F] swinging doors a | jukebox and a | [Bb] barstool | [Bb]  
And my new | [F] home has got a | flashing neon | [C] sign   | [C]  
Stop | [F] by and see me | anytime you | [Bb] want to   | [Bb]  
Cause I'm | [F] always here at | [C] home till closing | [F] time | [F]

I've got | [F] everything I | need to drive me | [Bb] crazy | [Bb]  
I've got | [F] everything it | takes to lose my | [C] mind   | [C]  
And in | [F] here the atmos- | phere's just right for | [Bb] heartache | [Bb]  
And thanks to | [F] you I'm always | [C] here till closing | [F] time | [F]  

And I've got | [F] swinging doors a | jukebox and a | [Bb] barstool | [Bb]  
And my new | [F] home has got a | flashing neon | [C] sign   | [C]  
Stop | [F] by and see me | anytime you | [Bb] want to   | [Bb]  
Cause I'm | [F] always here at | [C] home till closing | [F] time | [F]  
Yeah, I'm | [F] always here at | [C] home till closing | [F] time | [F↓]
