F

Street lights start to come on

I know that it's time

Bb

Stop what you're doing

Meet those drinking friends of mine

F

First lady call me on the telephone        

          C

She said 'Get out and die young but I'm staying at home'

      F

Now I believe in love, I believe that it's true

Bb

Know I'm defenceless when I look into blue

F

Sleepy eyes down an angel's face

C                 Bb                       F

Don't worry honey no-one's gonna take your place





F

The closer you get, the better you look

Bb

Throw me a line

          F

'Cos the closer you get, the more that I see

C

We'll sure have a good time

  F

I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel?

Bb

We'll there's no rules in my book

           F             C                F

Except the closer you get, the better you look





Keep one foot in the showroom, one out of sight

Girl I've had some close ones but I'm doing all right

Gold on her fingers don't mean a thing

He'll do his best to hear that sweet lady sing

Now I got the time if you got the place

We've got the know how and you got the face

We got the power, we got no shame

Come over baby, I sure do wanna light your flame

'Cos the closer you get, the better you look

Throw me a line

The closer you get, the more that I see

We'll sure have a good time

I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel?

We'll there's no rules in my book

Except the closer you get, the better you look
