  C                       G
Chain smoke rings like a vapor snake kiss
  C                  G
She says she don't know why
                         C                 Bm   Bb A
The closer you are the quicker it hits you
  G                  C                  Bm   Bb A  C
Closer you are the quicker it hits you
             G             A          E
Now you can see the boys dreaming, scheming. . . 

 C
You play the heavy
        G
It's a real slick movie move
   C                     G
"Stoned at the Alamo" tonight
                         C                 Bm   Bb A
The closer you are the quicker it hits you
  G                  C                  Bm   Bb A  C
Closer you are the quicker it hits you
             G             A          E
Now you can see the boys dreaming, scheming. . . 

C            G
I get up at seven o'clock
      C                     G
And drive myself up to the Lookout Rock
                         C                 Bm   Bb A
The closer you are the quicker it hits you
      G                  C                 Bm   Bb A  C
The closer you are the quicker it hits you
             G             A          E
Now you can see the boys dreaming, scheming. . . 
                         C                 Bm   Bb A
The closer you are the quicker it hits you
      G                  C                 Bm   Bb A
The closer you are the quicker it hits you
