[Verse One]
C5                       G5
Chain smoke rings like a vapor snake
 kiss
C5                     G5
she says she dont know why


[Chorus]
    G5                 C5         
the closer you are the quicker it 
          B5  Bb5  A5
hits you
G5                 C5            
closer you are the quicker it 
      B5  Bb5  A5
hits you
C5             G5           Am
   Now you can see the boys dreaming
Em
scheming


Continues after the ad
[Verse Two]
C5                       G5
You play the heavy its a real slick 
movie move
C5                    G5
stoned at the Alamo tonight


[Chorus]
G5                 C5            
closer you are the quicker it 
      B5  Bb5  A5
hits you
G5                 C5            
try to be nice and look what it 
        B5  Bb5  A5
gets you
C5             G5           Am
   Now you can see the boys dreaming
Em
scheming


[Break]
C5          G5
I get up at seven o clock
C5                      G5
drive myself out to the lookout rock


[Chorus]
    G5                 C5         
the closer you are the quicker it 
          B5  Bb5  A5
hits you
G5                 C5            
closer you are the quicker it 
      B5  Bb5  A5
hits you
C5             G5           Am
   Now you can see the boys dreaming
Em
scheming
