And so we've had a [Bm] [E] drink of poetry and poses
And each man knows he'll be alone
[Em] When the sacred gin mill closes
And so we'll drink the final glass
Each to his joy or sorrow
And hope the numbing drunk will last
[N] Till the opening
And when we stumble back again
[E] Like paralytic dancers
Each knows the questions he will ask
And each man knows the [B] answers
And so we'll drink the final drink
[E] That cuts the brain in sections
Where answers never signify
And there aren't [N] any questions
I broke my heart the other day
It'll mend again tomorrow
If I'd been drunk when I was born
I'd be ignorant of sorrow
And so we'll drink the final toast
That never can be spoken
Here's to the heart that's wise enough
To know when it's been half broken
And each man knows he'll be alone
[Em] When the sacred gin mill closes
And so we'll drink the final glass
Each to his joy or sorrow
And hope the numbing drunk will last
[N] Till the opening
And when we stumble back again
[E] Like paralytic dancers
Each knows the questions he will ask
And each man knows the [B] answers
And so we'll drink the final drink
[E] That cuts the brain in sections
Where answers never signify
And there aren't [N] any questions
I broke my heart the other day
It'll mend again tomorrow
If I'd been drunk when I was born
I'd be ignorant of sorrow
And so we'll drink the final toast
That never can be spoken
Here's to the heart that's wise enough
To know when it's been half broken
